The Futureheads - I Can Do That lyrics

rate me

I've been waiting six months for a sign that this is not a farce

I'm sick of having to read between the lines

I wrote a hundred letters without expecting a reply

I've made more phone calls than a wealthy guy

The power of persuasion is lost on the young

I wish that I still had it I know I'm clinging on

Take a chance on me is slipping off my tongue

The strange thing is, I know I'm not the only one

I can do that! I can do that!(repeat)

You can do it!

I'm standing in a queue just to prove that I am not a joke

They ask you a question and look at you like you told a lie

I've got enough bits of paper in my folder

I've been coming here so long I know their middle-names

The power of persuasion is lost on the young

I wish that I still had it I know I'm clinging on

Take a chance on me is slipping off my tongue

The strange thing is, I know I'm not the only one

I can do that! I can do that! (repeat)

I can do that! I can do that! (repeat)

(I wish I could fly right up to the sky but I can't

You can't?)
