lyrics

He’s the man of the moment
He’s the one with the diamond ring in his hand
He’s the man of the moment
A heartbeat and a handshake dressed as a man

And do you think she’ll ever wonder how it came to this?
And will she willingly exchange a wedding vow
With such a piece of work as this?

He’s the man of the moment
