Joe McElderry

Real Late Starter

I woke up late today

Actually I do that everyday

Got no place to be seen

I'm not part of a scene

I'm a genius loser

Keeping counsel with my own opinion

President of the state that I'm in

Should I just stay in bed?

Should I live in my head?

Oh God so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy

I think of it as taking my time

Cos I don't want to do what I don't want to do

I'm the queen refusenik

But oh my God

If I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine

But I'm a real late starter

So I'm making up for lost time

Oh my God if I was somebody

You'd be kissing my arse right now

But I'm so polite - I do it all of the time

I missed my calling in life

Oh well

Day by day I wonder

If I will be torn asunder

By these things that I know

That nobody else knows

Or maybe it's the drinking

I guess we should consult a Bible

Everybody needs a sign or

Bless the birds and the bees

The flowers and trees

And blessed be the slacker

But oh my God

If I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine

But I'm a real late starter

So I'm making up for lost time

Oh my God if I was somebody

You'd be kissing my arse right now

But I'm so polite - I do it all of the time

I missed my calling in life

Oh well

You must be having a laugh

Oh God your having a laugh

No point in worrying if my days a disaster

Inside my little head I'm happy ever after

Yes I am

But oh my God

If I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine

But I'm a real late starter

So I'm making up for lost time

Oh my God if I was somebody

You'd be kissing my arse right now

But I'm so polite

I missed my calling in life

But oh my God

If I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine

But I'm a real late starter

So I'm making up for lost time

Oh my God if I was somebody

You'd be kissing my arse right now

But I'm so polite - I do it all of the time

I missed my calling in life

Ohh what am I like

Yeah well

Oh well
