Sophie by Jake Thackray Lyrics

I should like to know
I'd like to find out
What my Sophie thinks about
Lying here in bed
I may not decide
What goes on inside her head

I know that she likes me 'cause she says so often
And besides if she didn't, well she wouldn't be here
And every now and then she goes all inscrutable
And I don't like it when she doesn't seem so near

Yes, I should like to know
I'd like to find out
What old Sophie thinks about
Does she tell me lies
Is she on the make
What's behind those vacant eyes

I know that she doesn't like going to parties
And I know that she likes drinking whisky mac.
I know that she's daft about liquorice allsorts
I know that she likes it when I stroke her back
But I should like to know
I'd like to find out
What my Sophie thinks about
Breathing in my hair
Never says a word
Is my little bird all there

She's got a lovely bottom and I prize it highly
I've studied its proportions time and again
I know her snowy breasts and her deep, dark navel
And I'm no stranger to her abdomen

Oh, I should like to know
I'd like to find out
What old Sophie thinks about
There's a question mark
There's a mystery
Lying in the dark with me
