Lyrics Gilbert O’Sullivan – Penny Drops

Penny drops when she doesn’t turn up
Penny drops when you’re on a date
Penny drops knowing what you
?

Only takes a moment
And in all that time
Once the heavens open
It’ll be a hell of a climb

Penny drops when you take the buzz on
Penny drops reaching for the fair
Penny drops sending in the pockets
Finding there is nothing there
Penny drops looking in the mirror
Penny drops seeing what you found
Penny drops seeing each your failure
Bigger than all around

Ask yourself this question
Why is love so crude
Would it not be better
Better than the
?
Better than the
?

Penny drops when she says I love you

I believe a one love only could provide
Not for me a threesome let alone four or five

Penny drops when you leave the bathroom
Penny drops after having run
Penny drops when I make the laughter
You can see the fly’s undone
Penny drops when you’re back away now
Penny drops when you see it last
Penny drops going out for dinner
Knowing what will be the cost
Knowing what will be the cost
Knowing what will be that cost
