Come on now darling let's do something new
This conversation has lost all its charm
Come on now darling let's do something else
I promise you it couldn't do you any harm
And you're good yes you're good but you don't say a word
Please open your mouth, please open your mind
Oh you're good yes you're good I'm not one to complain
If that's how you want it to be that's just fine in its way
But it's so hollow, would you not say- oh would you not say?

Now I've been waiting like a little child
And I've been good and I want my reward
I've looked around and seen a lot that I like
But then so little that I can afford
I don't want you to think that I'm going too far
Or trying to give you unwanted advice
I don't want you to think that I'm counting the cost
But this life's a drag and that's such a high price to pay
Oh it's so hollow, would you not say- oh would you not say?

Come on now darling let's do something new
This love's not finished but it's showing the signs
I know it's not easy to admit that you're wrong
But that's the way it's got to be sometimes
You can sit in your garden and watch the grass grow
And make yourself tea and exciting new plans
You can live like an artist and study your life
And wonder why every time you get your man he won't stay
Oh it's so hollow, would you not say- oh would you not say?
