The Lyrics

ALL IN VAIN

I walked into my favourite store to see if I could find a dress,
As the ones I have they don't fit any more, my wardrobe's an utter mess.
I had one eye on a mini that appealed to me so much.
But then the truth hit, I'd put too much weight on,
Put too much weight on...

All in vain,
The beauty of it was I was tempted.
All in vain (all in vain)
I couldn't even get to attempt it,
Could I, could I.

I wandered off to another shop to try and find some shoes.
The ones I had were worn out so then I had nothing to lose.
I saw one pair in the window which I wanted to try on,
It was no use, as my feet were all swollen,
Feet were all swollen...

All in vain,
The beauty of it was I was tempted.
All in vain (all in vain)
I couldn't even get to attempt it.
Could I, could I.

(Instrumental break)

All in vain,
The beauty of it was I was tempted.
All in vain (all in vain)
I couldn't even get to attempt it.
Could I, could I.

I went into a night club to try and find myself a man.
And there I saw up on the stage, the lead singer in the band.
But I also liked the drummer, and I couldn't make up my mind.
I was too late, I had wasted my chances,
Wasted my chances.

All in vain,
The beauty of it was I was tempted.
All in vain (all in vain)
I couldn't even get to attempt it.
Could I, could I.

All in vain,
The beauty of it was I was tempted.
All in vain (all in vain)
I couldn't even get to attempt it,
Could I, could I.
