[Verse 1]
I would have waited all my life
(I would have waited all my life)
Just to make love out of something other than spite
But the beauty is the beast you're baiting
(I would have waited all my life)
Should really be worth the waiting
[Chorus]
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
[Bridge]
And so you turn your back on me
(And so you turn your back on me)
And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco
[Chorus]
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
[Verse 2]
Actions speak louder now than words
(Actions speak louder now than words)
By just a fraction
What's the use of saying I love you
When I'm drinking to distraction?
We save our sanity
(Actions speak louder now than words)
By saying such and such
(Actions speak louder now than words)
After it's all been discussed
You say you must be touched
[Chorus]
You do something very special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a little savage
Little savage
