I Told You I Was Nice

I told you I was special
But you didn't believe
That the brownness of my freckles
And the bogeys on my sleeve
Were just part of my appeal
The things that make me different
And of interest and real

I told you I was lovely
But you didnt agree
You said that I looked ugly
And you couldnt guarantee
Youd stick around for long
I've waited here for ages
How could patience be so wrong?
Can you tell me?

No one can wait forever
I think you know that now
And no one will treat you better
Than only I know how
No one will wait forever
So why not try it and see
Are you listening to me?

I told you I was honest
But you didn't look too sure
I didn't break a promise
And I wont lie anymore
Than I have to, to get by
I've never said mean things
Or done stuff to make you cry

I told you I was nice
But you didnt seem convinced
Youve brushed me off now, twice
But I haven't budged an inch
Cos I think that we should go
Somewhere a little quieter
So you can get to know
Me better

No one can wait forever
I think you know that now
And no one will treat you better
Than only I know how
No one will wait forever
So why not try it and see
Are you listening to me?

You told me I was special
Then you kissed me on the cheek
You gave into my plea
Now weve been holding hands for weeks
I think that you might be
My very favourite person
Except batman and the queen
And you are mine
