lyrics

You’re a nasty lad with fags and nicotine-stained teeth
And a girl with ripped Converse would walk miles to see you peak
Your previous inconsistent performances
That have led you to believe that you were all for it
Have made you continue to pour your heart out
To young ones that are not even worth looking twice at
But you’ll pursue and ensure the things you do
Will result in her crawling back to you

All the young ones are having Russian roulette sex
While running ‘round the garden with frustrated men
But she’s been ordered not to disembark
And I’m sure you’ve managed to make her miss the mark
Because you’d do anything just to call her your lack
Turns her back on you giving the cheek a smack

She loves you even though you fail to believe her
She waits for you like a heart beating foolishly
In love with the thought of your affection
Mistreated you with pretentious intentions

Were you really surprised when she went and had an affair?
How the tables have turned now that you’ve been left in despair
I feel for you, oh, trust me, I do
But only a fool would end up with such a stupid man like you

She loves you even though you fail to believe her
She waits for you like a heart beating foolishly
In love with the thought of your affection
Mistreated you with pretentious intentions
