Tom Rosenthal – You Will Marry The Wrong Person 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’m mad, mad like you

[Chorus]
You
Will marry
The wrong person

[Verse 2]
Single life 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 predict if the feelings will go 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
We’re 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
Nothing of love

[Chorus]
And that's why you
Will marry
The wrong person
