He was too keen, she was quite pretty,
Unfortunately they lived in the same city.
Too much for her, to less for him.
This conflict between them could become a thing.
He rings to get involved in the plan he's the man that's always arriving,
He rings, the purse is low so she says no.
'I don't want you buying' [x3]
That's her excuse what an excuse.
He says the nights on him,
Come on it's better than staying in ]x2]
Chorus:
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her [x2]
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
It's got this way of running away when it should stay.
They go to the gig, apparently friends,
Easy with drink they're kissing by the end,
Too quick for her, to slow for him,
This tension between them could become a thing,
Let's go, be discreet in the dark on the dance floor,
Let's go, she looks at her watch, she says no.
'It's too cold for dancing' [x3]
That's her excuse, what an excuse,
He pulls her to him, I'll warm your soul if you let me in [x2]
Chorus:
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her [x2]
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
It's got this way of running away when it should stay,
He loves her face, she knows how to smile,
Come back to mine at least for a little while,
Too far for her, too close for him,
The distance between them could become a thing,
For once, she breaks the rules in her head and instead,
For once she shows him, how professional she can be in bed,
'It's time I was leaving' [x3]
That's her excuse, what an excuse.
He grins, letting me love you is not such a sin [x2]
Chorus:
She wants what she can't have, but he can give it to her [x2]
Human nature has this way of running away when it should stay,
It's got this way of running away when it should stay.
She wants what she can't [x9]
