There's no reason to be bored when
A face like yours is adored by all men
You're making up for lost time
And your best ideas were mine

At the age of twenty seven
You realized your bed was empty
A child is what I need
But your face is all I see

Those bruises don't betray
Any violence on my part
You've taken my possessions
And you're dressing like a tart

But it's miserable and sluttish
To be acting like I do in front of you
No matter how you try
You'll never be as cheap as me

When people have got no one else
They can always sleep with me
And no one else could be
A better friend to you than me

It's not love, it just smells like it
The scent of summer is so exciting
No matter how you brush your teeth
I can still smell the nicotine

And there's no face I'd rather kiss than
Your sweet face, oh, when it's smiling
I loved you until you were bedded
And our parents still talk of a wedding

Those bruises don't betray
Any violence on my part
You've taken my possessions
And you're dressing like a tart

But it's miserable and sluttish
To be acting like I do in front of you
No matter how you try
You'll never be as cheap as me

When people have got no one else
They can always sleep with me
And no one else could be
A better friend to you than me
