[Verse 1: Michael]
It started on a weekend in May
I was looking for attention, needed intervention
Felt somebody looking at me
With a powder white complexion, feeling the connection
[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Michael]
The way she looked was so ridiculous
Every single step had me waiting for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me out the bar to the back seat of her car
[Chorus: All & Luke]
When the lights go out, she's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain, kissing in the rain
I can't forget
My English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head of a king size bed
Means I can't forget
My English love affair
My English love affair
[Verse 2: Luke]
Next thing we were back at her place
A hideaway in Mayfair, all the great and good there
Drinking all the way to third base
Princes getting naked, falling on their faces
[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Luke]
The story line was so ridiculous
Every single step had me begging for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me up the stairs and it wasn't ending there
[Chorus: All & Luke]
When the lights go out, she's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain, kissing in the rain
I can't forget
My English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head of a king size bed
Means I can't forget
My English love affair
My English love affair
[Bridge: Ashton]
When I got out I knew that
Nobody I knew would believe in me
I look back now and know that
Nobody could ever take the memory
[Chorus: All & Calum & Luke]
When the lights go out, she's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can't forget
My English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head of a king size bed
Means I can't forget
My English love affair
My English love affair, my English love affair
