To Do with You - Jake Thackray

作曲：Jake Thackray

There may be better-cooking

Better-looking women

Better-slung and better at buns than you

And if I were a man for simple things

Like flawless skin and bigger dinners

My dearest

I might have no

More to do with you

You know well enough that

I am much more choosy

I want day-to-day to find myself with you

With the cheek-to-cheek the tooth and claw

The milk and honey and the bread and water

Dearest

I want everything to do with you

A marriage is supposed to go like

Happy-ever-after clockwork

Marking time with a regular chime of

I love you

But there are days enough when the

Love is racked and pinioned

Which nobody else knows

Better than we two do

There may be better-read and

Better bed-time women

Eruditer wives at night than you

And if I were the simple sort of bloke

For kierkegaarde and kant and cocoa

Dearest

I would have no more to do with you

But there's no such dependably

Stupendous woman

Up to the scratch no match not a patch on you

And eye to eye or toe to toe

Kiss for kiss and blow for blow

My dearest

I want everything to do with you

A marriage is supposed to go like

Happy-ever-after clockwork

Marking time with a regular chime

Of I love you too

But there are days enough when the

Love keeps coming and coming

Which nobody else knows better

Than we two do

There may be smoother-moving

Tongue-and-grooving women

Better-spoken shorter strokers than you

But they've all got as like as not

A lot better taste in men than you've got

Dearest

I shall have to just make do with you

There's no such

One-caress-and-leave-me-breathless woman

No such tender godsend friend as you

And not now and then nor if and whether

But time and again for ever and ever

My dearest

I want everything to do with you

No such

One-caress-and-leave-me-breathless woman

No such tender godsend friend as you

And not now and then nor if and whether

But time and again for ever and ever

My dearest

I want everything to do with you
