[Verse 1: Mike Heron]
I'm not the kind to complain
That I never had a girl to love
Many fine girl, I tried hard to know
But I think I never tried enough

[Verse 2: Mike Heron]
Sitting one day by myself
And I'm thinking, "What could be wrong?"
When this funny little hedgehog comes running up to me
And he starts up to sing me this song

[Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson]
"Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song she sung
I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song"

[Verse 3: Mike Heron]
Every day when the sun go down
And the evening is so very still
Many fine girl, I've held in my arms
And I hope there's many more that I will

[Verse 4: Mike Heron]
But just when everything is going fine
And absolutely nothing is wrong
This funny little hedgehog's always around
And every time he wants to sing me this song
[Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson]
"Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song she sung
I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song"

[Verse 5: Mike Heron]
One day when the moon was full
I thought I might settle down
Found myself a pretty little girl
And I stopped all my running around

[Verse 6: Mike Heron]
But just when the preacher come along
And he's just gonna pop on the ring
This funny little hedgehog comes running down the aisle
And I don't have to tell you what he did sing

[Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson]
"Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song she sung
I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song"

[Verse 1: Mike Heron]
I'm not the kind to complain
That I never had a girl to love
Many fine girl, I've tried hard to know
But I think I never tried enough
[Verse 7: Mike Heron]
But now I'll be looking all my days
And it isn't just me I got to please
There's this funny little hedgehog who's always around
And the only words he ever sings to me are these

[Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson]
"Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song she sung
I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song"

[Outro: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson]
I'm not the kind to complain
