Try Lyrics
[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
We bide our time
Though the time is fine
Oh, to be there, I could be there
Say you'll be there
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try
Why do we waste time
Hiding it inside?
I want you to be mine
[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
Now it's been and gone
You say what you would have done
You would've been there, I wished you'd been there
I needed you there
And if we try once more
Would you give me it all?
I won't believe it, til I can feel it
Can you feel it?
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try
We bide our time
Though the time is fine
Oh, to be there, I could be there
Say you'll be there
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try
Why do we waste time
Hiding it inside?
I want you to be mine
[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
Now it's been and gone
You say what you would have done
You would've been there, I wished you'd been there
I needed you there
And if we try once more
Would you give me it all?
I won't believe it, til I can feel it
Can you feel it?
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try
