[Verse 1]
When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted
And her laughter flowed into my life
She seemed so right, nothing wrong
Everything about her was so strong
So I waited for the magic to start
Somebody touch me deep in my heart

[Chorus]
Yvonne's the one I've been dreaming on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"
And so I said, "You're wrong Yvonne"

[Verse 2]
When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide
But I didn't dare let it show
Her ruby lips were teasing me
But jealousy would never let us be
So I waited for the magic to start
But I know it's gonna tear us apart

[Chorus]
Yvonne's the one I've been dreaming on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"
And so I said, "You're wrong Yvonne"

[Bridge]
She'll never know how much I loved her
I never got to tell
We never had the chance to say farewell

[Verse 3]
When I last saw Yvonne
She was covered in roses
But the laughter had gone from her eyes
She walked so tall, she looked so grand
Everything about her truly planned
But what you get is not what you see
"So long Yvonne, you're not fooling me"

[Chorus]
Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"
And so I said, "So long Yvonne"
Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"
Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"
And so I said, "So long Yvonne"

[Outro]
Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
She said, "Hold on, you're not the only one"

10cc

10cc are an English art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians—Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme—who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the “10cc” name in 1972.

The name origin is described by Jonathan King, the person who signed them for their first contract:

I had to give them a name … because I’d signed the record, and I went to sleep that night and had this dream that a band of mine on my label made number one on the album and singles charts simultaneously in America, and the band was 10cc. So I gave them that name the next morning. Everybody then decided that this was apparently meant to be the amount of an average male ejaculation. Which was absolutely far from the truth … There’s a lot of apocryphal stories about names, and unfortunately, most of them are much more amusing than the ugly reality, which in this case is that the name came to me in a dream …
