Harry: "And the excitement continues to build! Eat your heart out, Peter Frampton.")
|
|
It seems like two months
|
'Though I met her tonight
|
Something just told me
|
It would work out alright
|
So I asked her to act out
|
What was there in our heads
|
No need for games, babe,
|
Let's hop into bed
|
(audience reacts, Harry says, "I figured that'd get ya.")
|
That's when I said
|
|
"Oh, get on with it
|
Let's get it done
|
Life is made up of moments
|
Let's not miss this one
|
Oh, get on with it
|
Before it's too late
|
We know where we're going
|
There's no, no, no, no need to wait."
|
|
But that's when she says
|
"Let's take it slowly
|
You don't really know me
|
If we make it holy
|
Maybe it will last
|
What is your hurry
|
You don't need to worry
|
The one thing we know
|
Is that time, time, time goes too fast."
|
|
Soon it's working so well
|
I got her moving in
|
All the permanent thoughts
|
Already begin
|
You see she is the woman
|
That I want for my wife
|
I say, "Let's set a date, babe,
|
And get on with our life."
|
And that's when I said again
|
|
"Oh, get on with it
|
Let's get it done
|
Life is made up of moments
|
Let's not miss this one
|
Oh, get on with it
|
Before it's too late
|
We know where we're going
|
There's no, no, no, no need to wait."
|
|
But once again she says
|
"Let's take it slowly
|
Still you don't know me
|
If we make it holy
|
Maybe it will last
|
What is your hurry
|
You don't need to worry
|
The one thing we know
|
Is that time, time, time goes too fast."
|
|
I don't know what happened
|
As we moved along
|
But all of a sudden
|
It came out all wrong
|
She said, "It's all over
|
Let's not drag out the end
|
If we split up now
|
Then at least we'll stay friends."
|
And that's when she said
|
|
"Get on with it
|
You know it's all done
|
We had our moments
|
Don't dwell on this one
|
Oh, get on with it
|
You know it's too late
|
Oh, yes, it's all over
|
There's no, no, no, no need to wait."
|
|
But that's when I say
|
"Let's take it slowly
|
You know how you know me
|
And once it was holy
|
Don't give up so fast
|
What is your hurry
|
You don't need to worry
|
The one thing we know
|
Is that time, time, time goes too fast."
