Light Romance - Kiki Dee

There’s a girl inside the woman

Who’s waiting to get free

She’s washed a million dishes

She’s always making tea

They think she’s just a mother with nothing left inside

Who swapped her dreams for drudgery

The day she was a bride

But the dreams were not forgotten

Just wrapped and packed away

In the hope that she could take them out

And dust them off one day

Could I speak to councillor Lyons, please?

There’s a girl inside the woman

And the mother she became

And her half-remembered song comes to her lips again

Eddie, can I talk to ya?

The girl would sing the melody

But the woman stands in doubt and wonders

What the price would be

For letting the young girl out

Yeah, I remember…

(sung)

It’s just a light romance

It’s nothing cruel

They laid no plans

How it came?

Who can explain?

They just said «Hello»

And foolishly they gazed

They should’ve gone

Their separate ways

It’s just the same old song

Nothing cruel

Nothing wrong

It’s just two fools

Who know the rules

But break them all

And grasp at half a chance

To play their part

In a light romance

Loving on the never-never

Constant as the changing weather

Never sure

Who’s at the door

Or the price you’re gonna have to pay

It’s just a secret glance

Across a room

A touch of hands

That part too soon

That same old tune

That always plays

And let’s them dance as friends

Then stand apart

As the music ends

Loving on the never-never

Constant as the changing weather

Never sure

Who’s at the door

Or the price you’re gonna have to…
