[Verse 1]
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
Again too late I realise
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
Did not allow for you to be

[Chorus]
So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream

[Verse 2]
Now love can be so really warm and tender
And can be oh so very nice
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
Too soon, you said, too late too soon

[Chorus]
So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all

[Outro]
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
(A young pretender, be a young pretender)...
