"So how do we know each other? And how do you have my number? Well why don't you guide me You be the driver" Say what you want and leave your shyness home And you should do what you want and write a little poem Leave it for her and live another day And you should leave it for her, the girl around the way Write down a list of things you wanna do And then you leave it in work because you wanna live a little Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money Hey lady, put the phone down Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Your cover's blown, I wanna see you alone Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Your cover's blown Planning a freak is such a tricky thing Because you move through the country, she comes back again And then you move through the city, but she goes abroad Is she telling you something, is she getting bored? I make a rough plan to sleep around a minaret I need a change, I'm a lazy rat if I am honest But my bold change of tact will fade out with the summer I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers My baby doesn't look at me the way I want her to look She doesn't comprehend My baby's got it going on She's got a friend in every street in this town I want to go out but there's nobody home- I'll go on my own Thus starts the lonely walking There's always too much talking I, I, I should have stayed home She starts her cold caressing The kid she starts undressing I, I, I should have stayed home The DJ's picking up speed That's something I just don't need I, I, I should have stayed home The gossip's bearing down on me The kids are pairing up in front of me I should have stayed home I should have stayed home I think I'll go home Listen lady, put your phone down Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Your cover's blown, I need to see you alone Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Listen lady, leave your phone down Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Your cover's blown, I need to see you alone Cancel all operations, tell your friends to cool it Hey lady, meet my mom and dad You're a strange operation in this land of potted plants And funslide houses where the girls like mouses Breathe a long sigh of resignation You resign yourself to keep on growing Like the seeds you're sowing For a strange operation in this land of grammar schools And galloped days, the lady's set in her way Behind a long conversation from a kid named Stole He's a little slow but in your favour it shows Cancel all operations, tell your friends to move out to the sticks Listen lady, leave the boy home Cancel all operations, tell your friends there's more to you than this
