What Makes the World Go 'Round
Well I couldn't help but notice you in that bikini
When you walked by on the beach today
You're so young and beautiful
And I'm so old and grey
You made me turn my head, I couldn't help it
What I wanted to say was Whoa!
But I managed to just smile and keep silent
As I watched you come and go
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
Now I know that I could never be your lover
And there's no need for me to be your friend
So I'll think my dirty thoughts, and no one has to know
I just hope you'll walk by again
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
It's all I can do to keep from jumping up
To start a conversation with you
But there's no sense in making you uncomfortable
It would only make me feel the same way too
So all I can do is daydream
Of what it would be like for me to be with you
I'll hide behind these sunglasses
And enjoy the view
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
Well I try to tell myself I'm not a bad man
And I try not to think out loud
But if you only knew what I'd like to do with you, honey
It's what makes the world go 'round
When you walked by on the beach today
You're so young and beautiful
And I'm so old and grey
You made me turn my head, I couldn't help it
What I wanted to say was Whoa!
But I managed to just smile and keep silent
As I watched you come and go
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
Now I know that I could never be your lover
And there's no need for me to be your friend
So I'll think my dirty thoughts, and no one has to know
I just hope you'll walk by again
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
It's all I can do to keep from jumping up
To start a conversation with you
But there's no sense in making you uncomfortable
It would only make me feel the same way too
So all I can do is daydream
Of what it would be like for me to be with you
I'll hide behind these sunglasses
And enjoy the view
If I could talk to you I'd tell you
That you'll never look as good as you do now
Enjoy every minute of your blissful youth
If you only knew what I know now
This feeling I have is natural
It's what makes the world go 'round
Well I try to tell myself I'm not a bad man
And I try not to think out loud
But if you only knew what I'd like to do with you, honey
It's what makes the world go 'round
