[Verse 1]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Verse 2]
The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside I couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Bridge]
Go to a club, you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member
You said you went to apologise
It's plain to me that's one more lie
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression-pression
That's my impression
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Chorus]
It's an expression
And a suggestion
I learned my lesson
That's my impression
[Chorus]
That's my impression-pression
That's my impression
That's my impression-pression
I learned my lesson
[Outro]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
That's my impression
I know you lied
And that's my impression
That's my impression
My impression
That's my impression
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Verse 2]
The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside I couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Bridge]
Go to a club, you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member
You said you went to apologise
It's plain to me that's one more lie
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression-pression
That's my impression
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
[Chorus]
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
[Chorus]
It's an expression
And a suggestion
I learned my lesson
That's my impression
[Chorus]
That's my impression-pression
That's my impression
That's my impression-pression
I learned my lesson
[Outro]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone, I know you lied
That's my impression
I know you lied
And that's my impression
That's my impression
My impression
That's my impression
