It is about a guy (Jonathan) who falls in love with a girl who, in turn, is falling in love with the guy’s friend (David). When they perform the song live, the band invites a girl from the audience, and Stevie Jackson (as Jonathan) and Stuart Murdoch (as David) would “fight” over the girl, who ends...
[Verse 1]
I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
[Verse 2]
Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me, but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's okay (it's okay)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
[Chorus]
And she'll smile for you (she'll smile for you)
She'll hold your hand (hold out your hand)
You'll be in love, there's no other way
And I will make it someday
[Verse 1]
Well, I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
[Bridge]
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know (to know)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
[Chorus]
And she'll smile for you (she'll smile for you)
She'll hold your hand (hold out your hand)
You'll be in love, there's no other way
[Outro]
People say that we'll never change
We'll never change, but I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
