Never Like This

Wear Wellington boots when you tread into water
 But what do you do when she's finally caught you
 You can't just take off or go underground
 You just have to find yourself another way round
 Been through this before, but never like this
 Her mother is smiling across from the sofa
 Dad's watching the teli' but taking no notice
 Instead he just plays with some bright coloured blocks
 Occasionally speaks of little girls' frocks**
 Been through this before, but never like this
 Beginning to wish that you'd never met
 The girl with the far-away look in her eyes
 But to your surprise, she pours you some tea
 How many lumps, is it two, one or five?
 You suddenly find yourself glad that you came
 And your sure that the room doesn't look quite the same
 And Dad's got you into his bright coloured blocks
 Whilst mother still smiles in her little girl frock
 And the girl with the far-away look in her eyes
 Has now become very important in life
 Been through this before, but never like this
