Ian Hunter - Precious

I look in the mirror
What do I see?
Ain't no magna cum laude
Staring back at me
Qualifications
Leave a lot to be desired
I guess I fall way below
The standard required

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute or two

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do

Am I on a wild-goose chase?
Am I on in an obstacle race?
Trailing far behind ya
Far behind ya
Far behind ya

I ain't got much curb appeal
But you know how I feel
The sky is the limit
If you were only in it
If only you were in it

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute or two

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do

Am I on the firing line?
Am I just a waste of time?
But I'd go anywhere
Do anything you want me to
You're such an unbelievable force
I'm on an obstacle course
And the sky is the limit
If you were only in it
If only you were in it

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute or two

It'll only take a minute
Only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do

But you've always got something a little more precious to do

Forget alpha or beta
Mensa beware
If you're looking for genius
There ain't nothing there

Well, I look in the mirror
What do I see?
There's a whole other mirror out there
And it's laughing at me
