Opportunities
Girl with the golden hair
look how it shines
wow so pretty as you are
come and stick with me
A good thing just happened
you met a guy like me
looking awfully gorgeous
and also really sweet
I'm known for my credibility
and my creditcards too
I do not smoke or drink or swear
no that's not really cool
Father runs an oilbusiness
mother is the artistic kind
he's providing her with income
and she has a free life
I have one little sister
who's still at college
finding out about the boys
once thinking she was pregnant
I've done university
have applied everywhere
but since I am such a smartass
no one wants me around
I'm not working with my father
two captains on a ship you know
so at the moment I do nothing
and that's fine with me
Father is supporting me
allowance every month
it's enough for the both of us
so will you stick around ?
I give you all you dream of
you are the one for me
I believe at first sight
what about you?
