Status Quo - Young Pretender lyrics

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

So don't you worry

I've got it all under control

Take time, don't worry

I'm only halfway through a dream

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

So don't you worry

I've got it all under control

Take time, don't worry

I'm only halfway through a dream

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

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
