Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

I Didn't Know What To Do

I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go

'Cause when I looked at you

I saw that it was snow on the ground

And not me pretending that I was a bee

Fresh from Antarctica frozen to ice

Mother dear I want some sound advice

'Cause I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go

But someone looked at me

And said politely growing a beard

Can be fun, let me show you how it is done

I said don't bother I'd rather go see

Uncle George and Auntie Marge help me

'Cause I didn't know what to do

When you said, you were ready to go away

And they'll stay

Until such a time permit me to say

Oh I love you

People are staring, they don't understand

Cousin Mary please give me your hand

'Cause I didn't know what to do

And I didn't know where to go
