Lyrics

6, 7, 8

No i never was going to be first out of the stall

No i never was going to be 6, 7, 8 feet tall

No i never was going to be signed up big

No i never was going to be dressing up slick

But at the back of my mind...

I was always hoping

I might just get by

At the back of my mind

I was always hoping

I might just get by

No i never was going to be all that impressed

No i never was going to be out of a mess

No i never was going to be ahead of the rest

At the back of my mind

I was always hoping

I might just get by

At the back of my mind

I was always hoping

I might just get by
