Never Like This

Wear Wellington boots when you tread into water
But what do you do when shes finally caught you
You cant just take off or go underground
You just have to find yourself another way round
Been through this before, but never like this
Her mother is smiling across from the sofa
Dads watching the teli but taking no notice
Instead he just plays with some bright coloured blocks
Occasionally speaks of little girls frocks* *
Been through this before, but never like this
Beginning to wish that youd never met
The girl with the far-away look in her eyes
But to your surprise, she pours you some tea
How many lumps, is it two, one or five?
You suddenly find yourself glad that you came
And your sure that the room doesnt look quite the same
And Dads got you into his bright coloured blocks
Whilst mother still smiles in her little girl frock
And the girl with the far-away look in her eyes
Has now become very important in life
Been through this before, but never like this
