To Do with You (2006 Remaster) - Jake Thackray
There may be better-cooking
Better-looking women
Better-slung and better at buns than you
And if I were a man for simple things
Like flawless skin and bigger dinners
My dearest  I might have no
More to do with you
But you know well enough that
I am much more choosy
I want day-to-day to find myself with you
With the cheek-to-cheek  the tooth and claw
The milk and honey and the bread and water
Dearest  I want everything to do with you
A marriage is supposed to go like
Happy-ever-after clockwork
Marking time with a regular chime of "I love you "
But there are days enough when the
Love is racked and pinioned
Which nobody else knows
Better than we two do
There may be better-read and
Better bed-time women
Eruditer wives at night than you
And if I were the simple sort of bloke
For Kierkegaarde and Kant and cocoa
Dearest  I would have no more to do with you
But there's no such dependably
Stupendous woman
Up to the scratch  no match  not a patch on you
And eye to eye  or toe to toe
Kiss for kiss and blow for blow
My dearest  I want every thing to do with you
A marriage is supposed to go like
Happy-ever-after clockwork
Marking time with a regular chime
Of "I love you too "
But there are days enough when the
Love keeps coming and coming
Which nobody else knows better
Than we two do
There may be smoother-moving
Tongue-and-grooving women
Better-spoken  shorter strokers than you
But they've all got  as like as not
A lot better taste in men than you've got
Dearest  I shall have to just make do with you
There's no such
One-caress-and-leave-me-breathless woman
No such tender  godsend friend as you
And not now and then  nor if and whether
But time and again for ever and ever
My dearest  I want everything to do with you
No such
One-caress-and-leave-me-breathless woman
No such tender  godsend friend as you
And not now and then  nor if and whether
But time and again for ever and ever
My dearest  I want everything to do with you
