There Was a Few Lyrics by Material Issue

International Pop Overthrow

1991

Hey Lulu
I'd like to think that you and I should get together soon
I'm awful tired of waiting in my bedroom
And every time that I turn on the TV
I don't see no one who looks like me
But I thought that you and I could make a couple or pair
Tell me Lulu can you please come upstairs?
Maybe we could get it together
Tell me if not now, whenever
'Cause I thought that you and I could sorta work this out
Tell me do you know what I'm talking about?

I think that you and I could make a couple or pair
Tell me Lulu won't you please come downstairs?
Maybe you could jump from the window
I'll be here to catch you, come on let's go
'Cause I'm awfully tired of sittin' round thinkin'
If I were older I'd go out drinkin'
Maybe we could get it together
Tell me if not now whenever?
'Cause I thought that you and I could sorta work this out
Tell me do you know what I'm talking about?

'Cause there was a few, maybe one, maybe two, then there was you, won't you run with me
'Cause there was a few, but then there was you
Wipe the stars from your eyes and dance with me

'Cause I thought that you and I could sorta work things out
Tell me do you know what I'm talking about?

'Cause there was a few, maybe one, maybe two, then there was you, won't you run with me
'Cause there was a few, but then there was you
Wipe the stars from your eyes and dance with me

'Cause everytime I turn on the TV screen
I don't see no one who looks like me
