And on the few times I rang to propose There was a man there or so I'd suppose The greatest lover that you never had I'm just about glad They called time and vodka and lime In some far flung Canadian club Just about glad And there I was just waiting to fall Like a toe just aching to stub Just about glad Later on I could never accept it When you finally gave it all to him Just about glad And you said that my nurse was sweet But her lamp was just beginning to dim I'm just about glad That we never did that thing that we were going to do I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye But I can't say the same for you And though the passion still flutters and flickers It never got into our knickers For all of the courage that we never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (flutter and wow from the song of the same name, to flutter or flatter from Like Licorice) (Repeat Chorus) And it's all just a stupid creation Of my feverish imagination If I'm the greatest lover that you never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (Repeat Chorus) Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye?

      "Like Licorice" Lyrics

      Gets down to the matter

      Gets down to the root

      To flutter or flatter

      In hot pursuit

      Like Licorice

      Like Licorice

      On your tongue

      It might get a little ticklish

      But it won't take long

      Some say they only found one little piece

      A relation of Anna and anise

      The sweetness of candy

      The thrill of your fears

      The tart of your tongue

      And the salt of your tears

      Like Licorice

      Like Licorice

      On your tongue

      It might get a little ticklish

      But it won't take long

      Give 'em what they want, a promise of a dream

      A ticket on a time machine

      A voyage to nowhere on a magic stick

      Maybe you can give it a lick

      Like Licorice

      Like Licorice

      On your tongue

      Like Licorice

      Like Licorice

      On your tongue

      It might get a little ticklish

      But it won't take long

      It won't take long

      It won't take long

      "Lover's Walk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNCIzaBliTY

      "Lover's Walk" Lyrics

      I won't walk with my head bowed

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Your love walks where three's a crowd

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Lovers walk, lovers scramble

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Lovers step, shuffle and gamble

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Lovers trip, lovers stumble

      Lovers dip, lovers fumble (is that the word?)

      Lovers lip where love has crumbled

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Lovers strut, lovers stroll, lovers leap

      Lovers late, lovers wait

      Making promises that they can't keep

      Lovers link up arm in arm

      Lovers slink up, lovers charm

      Lovers drink up and come to harm

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Love is gone and it's no one's fault

      Love has stopped here, lovers halt

      Lovers don't walk, lovers run

      Will you look what love has done

      Will you look what love has done

      Will you look what love has done

      Beyond caution where lovers walk

      Now love's limping on a lover's crutch

      Looking for a hand with a personal touch

      Beyond caution where lovers walk
