I thought it would be dandy if I bought my girl some candy
How was I suppose to know she was allergic to chocolate?

I thought it would be fine if we shared a glass of wine
She said, 'Oh no, not another alcoholic'

I don't understand my girlfriend, I haven't got a clue
And I don't know where she's coming from or where she's going to
But if opposites attract then I found the perfect woman jack
I don't understand my girlfriend, she don't understand me too

Yeah I thought I'd show some class and order pheasant under glass
Hey, how was I suppose to know she was an avid bird watcher?

I don't understand my girlfriend, I haven't got a clue
I don't know where she's coming from or where she's going to
But if opposites attract then I found the perfect woman jack
I don't understand my girlfriend, she don't understand me too
No, understand me too, no way, understand me too
