I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long People ask me when will I grow up to understand Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams I loved you then as I love you still Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill I don't feel bad about letting you go I just feel sad about letting you know I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England Are you looking for another girl I loved the words you wrote to me But that was bloody yesterday I can't survive on what you send Every time you need a friend I saw two shooting stars last night I wished on them, but they were only satellites It's wrong to wish on space hardware I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England Are you looking for another girl My dreams were full of strange ideas My mind was set despite the fears But other things got in the way I never asked that boy to stay Once upon a time at home I sat beside the telephone Waiting for someone to pull me through When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you I don't want to change the world I'm not looking for a new England Are you looking for another girl
