What is this thing in life 
That persuades me to spend time away from you? 
If you can answer this 
You can have the moon

This is the place to be 
Anyway you can see there's a lovely view 
Why are there always 
So many other things to do?

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head 
When I'm alone I think of you 
And the life we'd lead If we could only be free 
From these distractions, ooh

The postman's at the door 
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall 
Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear, ooh 

I wanna be with you, tell me what I can do? 
Nothing is too small
Away from all this jazz 
We could do anything at all

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head 
When I'm alone I think of you 
And the things we'd do if we could only be through 
With these distractions

I'll find a peaceful place far away 
From the noise of a busy day 
Where we can spend our nights 
Counting shooting stars

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head 
When I'm alone I think of you 
And the things we'd do if we could only be through 
With these distractions

Like butterflies they're buzzing 'round my head 
When I'm alone I think of you 
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free 
From these distractions
