Paul Heaton - Half of Him lyrics

[Verse 1] Why forbidden fruit Always looks so sweet? Hanging down like devil's food From highest branch on tree [Refrain] Yes, woman should be satisfied Be happy with her lot But sometimes half of him Seems better than the whole I've got Yes, sometimes half of hell right here Is better than a heaven forgot... [Verse 2] Yield not to temptation Is only good advice If true love happens just the once And never ever twice [Refrain] [Pre-Chorus 1] We were happy with happily ever after But only if the plot Had bad guys we could boo and hiss And good guys we could not [Chorus] We probably feel that second best Could actually be much worse But you're kind of drawn to chocolate When you've tasted wafer first Yes, you're kind of drawn to chocolate When you've tasted wafer first... [Verse 3] Hunt me down like your other prey Let your claws take hold If what I've chosen's truly gray Make tiger black and gold [Refrain] [Pre-Chorus 1] [Chorus] [Verse 4] 'I can't get no satisfaction' So sang all the guys The biggest single breeding ground For a girl's 'I will survive' [Pre-Chorus 2] We'll be happy with happily ever after But only when the song Admits 'can't get no satisfaction' Wasn't all our wrong [Chorus] [Outro] Why forbidden fruit always looks so sweet?
