I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
 People ask me when will I grow up to understand
 Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams

 I loved you then as I love you still
 Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
 I don't feel bad about letting you go
 I just feel sad about letting you know

 I don't want to change the world
 I'm not looking for a new England
 Are you looking for another girl

 I loved the words you wrote to me
 But that was bloody yesterday
 I can't survive on what you send
 Every time you need a friend

 I saw two shooting stars last night
 I wished on them, but they were only satellites
 It's wrong to wish on space hardware
 I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

 I don't want to change the world
 I'm not looking for a new England
 Are you looking for another girl

 My dreams were full of strange ideas
 My mind was set despite the fears
 But other things got in the way
 I never asked that boy to stay

 Once upon a time at home
 I sat beside the telephone
 Waiting for someone to pull me through
 When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

 I don't want to change the world
 I'm not looking for a new England
 Are you looking for another girl
