Oh I'm back in the full effect / I can't even hold myself erect
|
I got nothing that I wanna say / I'm gonna say it anyway
|
I know you think that I've lost it, baby
|
I know you think that my star is fading / Used to be a contender
|
Now you're just a pretender / Psychic karaoke every weekend
|
You don't fit those clothes anymore
|
Why don't you take them back to the charity store
|
While you're there you could always hand yourself in
|
You're into green issues - start recycling
|
You hide behind your woman when you're out in your town
|
Show her up and blame her for holding you down
|
Holding you down, holding you down
|
You're the only one who's holding you down
|
You're only ever polite when you're out of your box
|
Cocker's short for... sucker / Sucker of... / Oh, oh
|
La na na na / Oh, oh / Sucker of... / Oh, oh / La na na na
|
Oh, oh / When I got up today I had that feeling again
|
Everything was OK, then the world started shaking
|
Now I'm trying to sleep it away / Oh but I can't sleep it away
|
Can you answer this question, can you answer it right:
|
Have you ever done anything good in your life?
|
Have you ever done anything that wasn't just for yourself?
|
Are you capable of giving? / Are you capable of giving just for the sake of it,
|
without expecting anything in return?
|
I'm only trying to give you what you've come to expect
|
Just another song 'bout single mothers and sex
|
Single mothers and sex, single mothers and sex
|
Just another song 'bout single mothers and sex
|
OK, you've heard it before, it's nothing special
|
But it's a living, can't you see / I'm a professional
|
Oh, oh / La na na na / Oh, oh / I'm a professional
|
Oh, oh / La na na na / Oh, oh / Sleep on my darling
|
Sleep on, don't wake as I leave / I've been rehearsing this scene so long now
|
Don't interrupt me as I do it for real / The bedroom floor is treacherous
|
A teacup could be disastrous / 'Cos it'll mean I would have to say
|
What was written on the letter I posted yesterday
|
So that it would get here / When I was gone / And you awoke
|
Oh, she'll meet me from the train / And she'll never know a thing
|
About how I talk with my mouth full / And only bath once a week
|
How I'm nicer the first time you meet me than the next
|
And I'm rapidly losing interest in sex / Yeah, I'm rapidly losing interest in sex
|
What's the point in making it over-emotional? / You can do it the hard way
|
Or you can be a professional / Oh, oh / La na na na
|
Oh, oh / I'm a professional / Oh, oh / La na na na
|
Oh, oh / Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love / Sleep on my darling
|
Sleep on my love / Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love
|
Sleep on my darling / Sleep on my love
|
