lyrics

Girls girls girls won't you listen to me
Here's a tip to keep you happy
Don't try to paper over those relationship cracks
Just kick him to the curb and then he'll want you back
Suddenly there's flowers waiting at your door
And he says he's figured out what the hoover's for
He wants to take your parents to the Dardanelles
And he's starting to appreciate the sound of wedding bells

Why do I keep going back to her?
Guess you'd say she's got the Ex factor

Chorus

Why why why won't you listen to me
What's the point of getting angry
I told you i'd be getting home a little bit late
So why are you still waiting looking so irate?
First there was a party for the girls in sales
One of them is gonna move to New South Wales
Then that guy called Alan who you met last week
Offered me a drink in some place really really chic

Chorus

Please please please just stop bothering me
I don't wanna have a baby
We just got back together so let's take things slow
Well if that's your answer then I'll have to go
WAIT!
Suddenly it's seeming like a great idea
In fact why don't we try and have one every year
Instead of that long holiday in Istanbul
We'll spend the summer picking out a nursery school

Chorus
