Lyrics

A Big Surprise

No use in our pretending we don't know what we know We know a lot of things I know each muscle on your back and every toe But you've held out on me, I can tell from your eyes Disguising the ace that you hold I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite It's boy meets girl and here we go once again Where is that Yankee ingenuity Somebody told me how the motion picture would end I turned and glared at them And then I read the way the world was going to end With a whimpering sound, not a banging away I'm sorry I gave it away I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite It's boy meets girl and here we go once again I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite It's boy meets girl and here we go once again Where is that Yankee ingenuity I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite It's boy meets girl and here we go once again Where is that Yankee ingenuity Break the rules and make a fool out of me Where is that Yankee ingenuity right now I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite
