Status Quo

( Rossi / Frost )
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
Again too late I realise
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
Did not allow for you to be
So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream
Now love can really be so warm and tender
And can be oh so very nice
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
