What is this thing in life
ย
That persuades me to spend time away from you?
If you can answer this, you can have the moon.
ย
This is the place to be,
Anyway you can see there's a lovely view.
Why are there always so many other things to do?
ย
Distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When i'm alone, i think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.
Uh, uh, uh, uh.
The postman's at the door,
ย
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall.
Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear - uh-uh -.
I want to be with you,
Tell me what i can do, nothing is too small,
Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.
Distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When i'm alone, i think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions.
Ah -
ย
Ah -
I'll find a peaceful place
Far away from the noise of a busy day.
Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.
Distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When i'm alone, i think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions,
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When i'm alone, i think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions
