"I Know The Man" lyrics

I help out at the café; I clear up the plates
They don't really pay me, but they seem to appreciate
Yes, I work here for a pittance, I work here to make friends
And I work here from breakfast to daytime end

Well, I may now seem lonely, but one day, you will see
I'll be safe in the arms of my husband-to-be

I know the woman, I know the man
We're gonna love them as best we can
And if they should fail to turn up on that day
The handsomest stranger will whisk us away
We know the woman, we know the man

I now work for the council, so I'm getting good advice
You'll get your old heart broken at least once, maybe twice
And I've tended to the gardens and I've tended to folks' needs
And I tended to my exes like nettles and weeds

Well, I may now seem lonely, but one day, you will see
I'll be safe in the arms of my husband-to-be

I know the woman, I know the man
We're gonna love them as best we can
And if they should fail to turn up on that day
The handsomest stranger will whisk us away
We know the woman, we know the man

And he'll meet me at the station and he'll fit me like a glove
'Cause I already know the man that I'm going to love
And we'll live out in the countryside, stars shining above
'Cause I already know the woman that I'm going to love

I know the woman, I know the man
I know the woman (I know the man)
I know the woman (I know the man)
I know the woman (I know the man)
