Some people think the perfect fantasy is the girl next door
But my dream girl has got the keys to my heart and home
I never dreamed that in a million years she'd settle for me
This room's to let I only advertised this morning
But here you are with three months rent and references that shine beyond belief
"Take me to my room," you said
"No time to lose," you said
And now you're making omelets and you ask me
"Who's that girl on the fridge?"
And I'm telling my life story but I guess she's too good for me
She's not my girlfriend
She's just a friend who's a girl
She's my buddy, she's my best mate
She rocks my world
I want to tell her
But I just can't find the time or find the words
Oh, for God's sake, kiss the girl
A quiet night and we won't even know you're here
No phones, no interruptions, maybe now's my chance to tell her how I feel
Now you're here and I can't think so why not stay and have a drink
(I don't mind if you don't mind)
(Do you want to stay?)
(I don't mind)
(Great!)
And now she's going to live with monkeys
See the world and disappear
Am I what's keeping her here?
She's not my girlfriend
She's just a friend who's a girl
She's my buddy, she's my best mate
She rocks my world
I want to tell her
But I just can't find the time or find the words
Oh, for God's sake, kiss the girl
I can't take this anymore
I want you to go 'cause you're talking to a cat
And everybody loves you
And you're better than me at football and my job
And now Sophie's all
"Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys"
You're gonna take her away from me
Alright, I didn't want to do this but it might be the only way
The world will end if you don't concentrate on why you want to stay
So, Mr. Sofa Man, what's keeping you here?
Sophie/I don't want to leave
Sophie/I can't leave
Sophie/I love you, Sophie
But what about the monkeys?
No, not again, not when the world's about to burn
Just for God's sake kiss the girl
