[Verse 1]
In moments of sadness
With confidence gone
​Who's gonna tell me
I'm a million to one
​
Who blows this trumpet
Who heralds this queen
Who lets her know
She's the best thing they've seen

[Chorus 1]
Who's gonna let this girl know
Who's gonna let her down slow
Heartache takes time up it's true
And she's got some dancing to do

[Verse 2]
Restaurants and cinemas
Hospitals too
Motorway services
Forming a queue
​
Bus stops and benches
Gathering dew
Thousands are out there
All feeling blue
[Chorus 2]
Who's gonna let those folk know
Maybe just let them down slow
Heartache takes time up it's true
And they've got some dancing to do

[Bridge]
From this half empty lass
Comes this half full wish
I wanna be a beautiful mermaid
Not just some half piece of fish
Not just some half piece of fish

[Chorus 1]
Who's gonna let that girl know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Who's gonna let her down slow, slow, slow
Heartache takes time up its true
And she's got some drinking to do
​
[Outro]
She's got some drinking to do
She's got some drinking and dancing to do
​She's got some drinking to do
Some dancing to do
She's got some dancing
She's got some drinking
Some drinking to do
She's got some drinking to do
