You Will Marry The Wrong Person by Tom Rosenthal Lyrics
[Chorus]
You
Will marry
The wrong person
[Verse 1]
You can't freeze happiness
Oh the golden moments, they will be gone
See the first problem is that we don't quite understand ourselves
And if we can't do that how will get others?
And moreover, how will we choose our lovers?
We're all quite mad, and the normal ones
Are the ones you don't know very well
Maybe when we're on our first date
Don't ask for my favourite band
Ask me how I am mad
Mad likе you
[Chorus]
You
Will marry
The wrong person
[Verse 2]
Single lifе is hard
Lonely Saturday nights and all the nights
So we do funny things to escape
Like settling for something before it's all too late
Groping in the dark, inventing sparks, inventing you
Maybe your instincts are all wrong
And who can ever know if these funny feelings
Will go on and on and on?
You won't be the first to be charmed by a heavenly song
Moment, eyes, times, words, mood, face
Gone when time reveals all that is true
[Chorus]
You
Will marry
The wrong person
[Verse 3]
Are we seeking happiness
Or just the familiar world we miss?
Are we just birds of the nest?
The love we learnt as kids was darker than you think
Born out of a complex, indelible ink
There's a good chance you'll reject the right one
No one tells you how it is
Sends you off with love degrees
All we get are birds and bees
If you're not taught to drive
You're probably going to crash the car
And we're taught nothing of love
Taught nothing of love
[Chorus]
And that's why you
Will marry
The wrong person
You
Will marry
The wrong person
[Verse 1]
You can't freeze happiness
Oh the golden moments, they will be gone
See the first problem is that we don't quite understand ourselves
And if we can't do that how will get others?
And moreover, how will we choose our lovers?
We're all quite mad, and the normal ones
Are the ones you don't know very well
Maybe when we're on our first date
Don't ask for my favourite band
Ask me how I am mad
Mad likе you
[Chorus]
You
Will marry
The wrong person

Single lifе is hard
Lonely Saturday nights and all the nights
So we do funny things to escape
Like settling for something before it's all too late
Groping in the dark, inventing sparks, inventing you
Maybe your instincts are all wrong
And who can ever know if these funny feelings
Will go on and on and on?
You won't be the first to be charmed by a heavenly song
Moment, eyes, times, words, mood, face
Gone when time reveals all that is true
