You Newer Know When You Are In Too Deep

It lay gleaming in the window It was the day after payday You newer know when you are in too deep I went inside Looking at a diving watch, a quite good-looking one You newer know when you are in too deep A pretty shop assistant Her smell You newer know when you are in too deep She didn’t smell bad She didn’t use perfume You newer know when you are in too deep But her smell hit my nose It must have been the day before ovulation You newer know when you are in too deep She was too young The setting was all wrong You newer know when you are in too deep Holding that watch in my hand Looking at her I knew I was in too deep My basic instinct, from the stone-ages, was put to bed I decided to try another shop too I knew I might find a better price Been wearing my watch for 25 years I will never reach the max diving depth of my watch But I know I can get in too deep
