Penny Drops Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Penny drops when she doesn′t turn up
Penny drops when you're on a date
Penny drops knowing what you learns up
Thinking only she was late
Penny drops when you′re on the freeway
Penny drops and you're gunning out
Penny drops when you see the fuel date
Indicating down to now

Only takes a moment
And in all that time
Once the heavens open
It'll be one hell of a climb


Penny drops when you take the buzz on
Penny drops reaching for the fair
Penny drops sending in your pockets
Finding there is nothing there
Penny drops looking in the mirror
Penny drops seeing what you found
Penny drops seeing each your failure
Bigger than all around

Ask yourself this question
Why is love so crude?
Would it not be better
Better than the world as
Better than the world as love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Penny drops when she says I love you
Penny drops when it′s on the phone
Penny drops when it′s to another
Something that you might've known

I believe that one love, only two provide
Not for me a threesome, let alone four or five


Penny drops when you leave the bathroom
Penny drops after having run
Penny drops when I make the laughter
You can see the fly′s undone
Penny drops when you're back away now
Penny drops when you see it last
Penny drops going out for dinner
Knowing what will be the cost

Knowing what will be the cost
Knowing what will be that cost
