I am starting to function Everything is so provocative
I shall walk (I shall walk) Out of this place (out of this place) Trying so hard to be like the big boys
So you take her to the pictures Trying to become a fixture Inch by inch trying to reach her All the way through the second feature Worrying about your physical fitness Tell me how you got this sickness, Oh ohhhh..
I was caught in the suction By a face like a truncheon
I was stuck on a hammerhead I came alive and left for dead As my face returned to red Choking on my pride and pity
We can talk (we can talk) Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue) We can talk but she'll get to you After you've been loved and hated By the ones you've watched and waited Found that they were overrated
She'll be the one - when the party's over She'll be the one - when the girls have gone home She'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held onto She'll be the one - but it's too late for you to She'll be the one - who knows all your history
So you can cross her off your list To be like the big boys, oh.
