You’ll Be The Death of Us

When we are close, we are so damn close

Feels there’s no one else on the floor

Then you disappear in front of my eyes

Your mind’s off dancing out the door

 

It’s too late now, I’m in too deep

Loving you hurts and I’m losing sleep

You said you were out of my league

So how come you are in my backseat

But I know, I know, I know, baby I know

You’ll be the death of us

 

All teasing curls and grey blue eyes,

I fell for you right from the start

Blinded by love, deafened by lust

Kicked to the kerb by your vicious heart

 

It’s too late now, I’m in too deep

Loving you hurts and I’m losing sleep

You said you were out of my league

So how come you are in my backseat

But I know, I know, I know, baby I know

You’ll be the death of us.

 

All those old lies I’ve been fed on

You’re still my personal Armageddon

Always been floods and hurricanes

The driving rain against the window panes.

 

It’s too late now, I’m in too deep

Loving you hurts and I’m losing sleep

You said you were out of my league

So how come you are in my backseat

But I know, I know, I know, baby I know

You’ll be the death of us.

When we took your dad’s Capri to the bay

The late night drive along the jagged coast

We danced and laughed in the blinding spray

You let me go, when I loved you the most.

It’s too late now, I’m in too deep

Loving you hurts and I’m losing sleep

You said you were out of my league

So how come you are in my backseat

But I know, I know, I know, baby I know

You’ll be the death of us.

(J. Guinness/ M. Aysgarth 1984)
