Heavenly

So Little Deserve

Disco: This Is Heavenly [1995]

Made a steeple with your fingers

Made a cradle with a piece of string

Made a wigwam, made a treehouse

Made a game of everything

 

But when you, when you grew up

You grew up and forgot what's real

What's precious, not precocious

How being in love with life feels

 

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you not gone?

 

Made the girls swoon without thinking

Made this girl begin to wonder why

Made me flowers from crepe paper

I was charmed there for a while

 

But when you, when you grew up

You grew up and forgot what's true

What's nice, not nauseating

How you once felt, how I feel for you

 

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you not gone?

 

Cos you may be grown up

And you may be cool

And I may be anything, anything but cruel

So don't ever ask me

Just what you should say

Cos you could say anything, anything, anything

 

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you

Then why have you not gone?
