Things Are As They Are

Hi, would you smile, don't get shy

I don't have any bad intentions

Why do you sigh on the sly ?

I find you've got a nice complexion

Don't turn away I won't hurt at all

Where are the feelings you failed to recall

Don't persuade me into being a clown

'Cos I'm not gonna change anyway, anyhow

Hi one more time, here am I

I see you've got ill expectations

I don't know why I can't hide

I feel for you a deep affection

Ain't got a way to escape from my love

You'll be the one I will be thinking of

You don't have to say anything to me now

'Cos I'm not gonna change anyway, anyhow

I'm sick and tired of fighting

Let's find a way out

Can you stop denying

Things are as they are, ah, ah, ah

Time's slipping by day and night

I'll always love to distraction

I'll hold you tight if you'd try

To bury your dissatisfaction

Things will go well if you open your eyes

To notice me and just to realise

I'm neither a stranger nor even a clown

And I will never change anyway, anyhow

You're sick and tired of crying

Let's find a way out

Can you stop denying

Things are as they are, ah, ah, ah
