Sophistication can be conquered by a smile (of a girl)



"Sophisticated"

I wear sophisticated clothes
I say sophisticated things
Everything about me says
I'm a sophistication king

But when I'm with you
Can't seem to find my cool
Yeah, when I'm with you
I just site there and drool

I got sophisticated hands
I got sophisticated feet
A sophisticated car
Parked on sophistication street

But when I'm with you
Can't seem to find my cool
Yeah, when I'm with you
I'm just a dribbling fool

When you look at me and you start to flirt
I have to wipe the dribble off the front of my shirt

When you ask me what's on my mind
All I can think to answer is... "fluh-uh"

I eat sophisticated food
I breathe sophisticated air
I run a sophisticated comb
Through my sophisticated hair

But when I'm with you
Can't seem to find my cool
Yeah, when I'm with you
I'm just a dribbling... fool

Life is a Mystery



"Mystery"

Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never, ever meant to be
It's why I call my love for you a mystery

Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see

That much, at least, is not really a mystery

Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the water authority
But I know you would have found it insanitary

Insanitary

Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
But if we ever actually met, you might have hated me
Still, that's not the only problem that I can see

Dead since 1973
You been dead now... wait a minute, let me see
15 years come next January
As a human being you are history

So why do I still long for you
Why is my love so strong for you
Why did I write this song for you
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
