It was last night, when I said it to you:
"I wanna take a cruise, just to check out the view..."
-and I was put to shame , when it came overhead:
-the things you were sayin' made me wish I was dead.
And all around me, I thought the angels had come.
Instead of ten fingers, I was all thumbs.

So I sensed that things weren't gonna go so well
-and then I looked to you to see if you could tell.
It was gonna take all our might, had a sneakin' suspicion deep down inside. 
Maybe you thought that I took you for granted.
Maybe I lost my appetite.
Maybe you thought I was from another planet.
Well, anything's likely, you could be right. 
And all around me, I thought the angels had come.
Instead of ten fingers, I was all thumbs.

All thumbs....

So you led me to temptation, or so I thought.
There's ground breaking ....my heart! 
And all around me, I thought the angels had come.
Instead of ten fingers, I was all thumbs.

All thumbs....
