Verse 1
Sitting on my own, in my home, by the phone
It doesn’t ring, I hear nothing…
What can the future bring?
Pre-Chorus
Conversation, correspondence, give me a chance
I’m relying on fate, waiting for a blind date.
Chorus
I wait and wait and wait and wait
I’m still waiting for a ‘blind date’.
Verse 2
Shuffling my feet down the street acting sweet
I take a chance, give a glance…
It seems no-one fancies me.
Pre-Chorus
Waiting by the mailbox, waiting by the phone
I need a bit of luck, I’m lonely on my own.
Chorus
I wait and wait and wait and wait
I’m still waiting for a ‘blind date’.
Bridge
“Then one morning, between the bills
I found a letter with kissed sealed
I read the letter – she sounded sweet
So I arranged a place to meet
Straight away, next day
We were down the road in a cafe
When I entered I saw her
Sat in the corner
Drinking a cup of tea
She could be the one for me.
Verse 3
I sat down and introduced myself
She said, “Hello”, but little else
She seemed tense and very shy
Wearing shades, but I didn’t ask why.
Chorus (Variation)
I’d waited and waited, I’ve always been waiting
But now finally I am dating.
Verse 4
But then within a minute or two
Suddenly she said, from out of the blue,
“If you’re ugly I don’t mind
Looks don’t count ‘cos I am blind.”
Blind date!
Blind date!
Blind date!
Blind date!
Chorus
I’d waited and waited, I’d waited so long
For a date to come along
I’d waited and waited and now finally
I got a blind date…
Literally!
