I knew you were sitting in your room all alone
I knew I was the only girl for you
You have told me so

But somehow it slipped my mind
Whilst walking home
Whilst you were sulking I could have been raped
In Ladbroke Grove

Well, you can have your records back
And take your comics too
I'm going to have some fun tonight
Life with or without you

So I spend an evening without getting my face cut
And another evening without getting run over
Again another evening without falling in love

So I listen to the radio
Smoke a cigarette
Same old thing, yeah, I know
Everybody does it

Six months have passed, now try become between us
I've never missed you, only sometimes
Dreaming on a bus

There is absolutely no
Doubt in my mind
That you and I have grown apart
For the first time

Seeing you with other girls
Sometimes bothers me
But I don't want to play those games
They're just not interesting

So I spend an evening without getting my face cut
And another evening without getting run over
Again another evening without falling in love

So I listen to the radio
Smoke a cigarette
Same old thing, yeah, I know
Everybody does it

Since yesterday, like I heard your voice behind me
I froze on the spot, did not turn around
In case you'd find me

I think you lied or you can't tell
Tell the truth
You didn't want me, you wanted someone else
Who'd give you proof

But I can't trust the feelings
Rushing through my head
I'd wait for you to call me nights
And come to me instead

So I spend an evening without getting my face cut
And another evening without getting run over
Again another evening without falling in love

So listen to the radio
Smoke a cigarette
Same old thing, yeah, you know
Everybody does it
