Lyrics

THE QUIET ONE

MAMA SAID I WAS A SENSITIVE BOY
TOOK GOOD CARE OF ALL MY TOYS
DIDN?T FUSS MUCH OR MAKE NO NOISE
I WAS THE QUIET ONE

AND BACK IN SCHOOL GOT PUSHED AROUND A BIT
IF THEY WANTED A FIGHT, SOMEHOW I GOT OUT OF IT
THAT REBEL STEREOTYPE DIDN?T FIT ?ME
- THE QUIET ONE

I DON?T SAY MUCH BUT WHEN I DO
YOU?LL KNOW THAT EVERY WORD IS TRUE
LIKE WHEN I SAY THAT I LOVE YOU
AND YOU?RE THE ONLY ONE
IT?S A GUARANTEE, TO YOU FROM ME? THE QUIET ONE

I KNOW YOU?VE DATED OTHER MEN
SOME ALRIGHT BUT SOME HAVE BEEN
THE HURTIN? KIND

BUT IN YOUR EYES I SEE A LIGHT
AND YOU SAY I?M YOUR MR. RIGHT
AND YOU?RE GIVING ME THE SIGN

SO COME AND RUN AWAY WITH ME
AND WE?LL GET MARRIED, QUIETLY
AND WE?LL HAVE AN ETERNITY
OF PEACEFUL DAYS?.AND SETTING SUNS

AND WE CAN RAISE A FAMILY
AND MAYBE OUR KIDS?LL BE QUIET LIKE ME
BUT THAT?S A LONG SHOT?.. ANYWAY?.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN?
(LEAD)
SO COME AND RUN AWAY WITH ME
AND WE?LL GET MARRIED, QUIETLY
AND WE?LL HAVE AN ETERNITY
OF PEACEFUL DAYS?AND SETTING SUNS

AND WE CAN RAISE A FAMILY
AND MAYBE OUR KIDS?LL BE QUIET LIKE ME
BUT THAT?S A LONG SHOT?.. ANYWAY?.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN?

IT?S A GUARANTEE, TO YOU FROM ME
THE QUIET ONE
