I tried so hard Not to find the peculiarities in her heart There were broken pieces underneath it But I tried, to slip it, trip it to the back of my mind Boy ya could do better, but she would never let ya Marry me, Jesus Christ you must be joking You're just 23, girl what is that? This ain't me Sunday morning drinking black tea Being well behaved And you're just leading the way Try it, you would wanna buy it Take her out on Sunday you'll be home by Monday She be sippin' tonic, you be getting on it Like you did in 1986 with this It's tragic you be straight erotic though you never said it She knows you always thought it Why's it never the same for me? As it is for you? So thinking back again Before we were just emotionally tragical It was cosy and carefree So do not speak And listen to what my mind is making A bed that's not worth a lay in A story that's not worth relaying Try it, you would wanna buy it Take her out on Sunday you'll be home by Monday She be sippin' tonic, you be getting on it Like you did in 1986 with this It's tragic you be straight erotic though you never said it I know Why's it never the same for me? Never the same for me As it is for you? Equality It's not a word you feel is familiar For you it's just about me and me Dignity Sailing in your shallow water The taps run dry You're drowning in your gin and tonic Try it, you would wanna buy it Take her out on Sunday you'll be home by Monday She be sippin' tonic, you be getting on it Like you did in 1986 with this It's tragic you be straight erotic though you never said it She knows you always thought it Cos she's like a mother Don't you even bother? Cos you're just wasting your time Why's it never the same for me? [x4]
