Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
While the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
[Verse 7]
My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set, despite my fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another?
[Verse 10]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are ya looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Girl
Girl
Girl
