The Kick Inside - Ever The Optimist lyrics

rate me

<b>Ever The Optimist</b> by <i>The Kick Inside</i><br />Cast your mind back over conquests failed

Although lust dictated somehow the heart prevailed.

Through each bedroom each trite billet-doux

Through each fleeting romance, the next awaited you.

Then you found me

Dark and indiscreet

Only six months later

Altered as one can be.

Now you're leaving and I can't comprehend

Just being without my only friend.

Don't be so dramatic

We can endure this

Ever the optimist. I'm as fond of you as I've ever been.

There's no need to panic we'll overcome this

Ever the optimist. I'm as fond of you as I'll ever be.

How do you take it, white or black

With sugar? I used to know all that.

Our acquaintance dangles by a thread.

Be patient, it isn't over yet.

Don't be so dramatic

We can endure this

Ever the optimist. I'm as fond of you as I've ever been.

There's no need to panic we'll overcome this

Ever the optimist. I'm as fond of you as I'll ever be.
