In a Nutshell

Album: The Other Side of Gilbert O'Sullivan Durasi: 2:51

I'll may leave you for just a second

Just a second if that's okay

May last a little under an hour

All depends on how long I stay

Only when it's someone who's close does

Cancer hit you just like a bomb

Must be the only disease on earth

Guaranteed to kill everyone

Watching and waiting

Mistaking the pun

For one that was never intended

Once they assure you, it's all based on fact

You can be sure it's invented

I've got nothing but for tomorrow

No, no don't get me wrong what I mean

It's not I will be without my clothes but

There you want me well, I'll be free

Wishing and hoping

And hoping and praying

That it will soon stop raining

There's nothing worse than a cricketer's ball

Stuck in the mud complaining

Oh, I may wake up to find you sleeping

Not in your bed but mine, I know

It's only a dream but what's wrong with that? (ain't it)

Better than finding you on the floor (ain't it)

Better than finding you on the floor

In my room, there's someone sneaking in

Not only that, but there's someone at the door

Will they stop if well, I unlocked the bolt?

In a nutshell

I, I won't
