Surely I Can’t Wait Songtext
von Nation of Language

Truth is that I′m better off, I know
But I can't stand the pain
You rake yourself across the coals
Then you start a love song

I give up, I give in
End result, I find that I′m competitive
Shave my head and off I go
Looking like a lost cause

But could you be the one
Right away
Surely I can't wait for another

But could you be the one
Right away
Surely, I can't wait for another

I can′t stand the pain
Accurate, if on the nose
Something ′bout a back bone


I give up, I give in
I resolve, I try to be a better friend
Hand upon the collarbone
Waiting for the applause

So could you be the one
Right away
Surely, I can't wait for another

So could you be the one
Right away
Surely, I can′t wait for another

Please, please one more time
I can't stand the pain
Sing along in monotone
It′s just another love song

I give up (oh), I give in (oh)
Signing off (oh), it's tired and repetitive
Place one hand upon the phone
Swear I′m not a lost cause

So could you be the one
Right away
Surely I can't wait for another


So could you be the one
Sign your name
Surely I can't wait

Be the one right away
Surely, I can′t wait for another
Surely, I can′t wait for another
