I am starting to function

in the usual way

everything is so provocative

very, very temporary

I shall walk (i shall walk)

out of this place (out of this place)

I shall walk out on you

'cause you consider if she's really 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've got the sickness



I was caught in the suction

by a face like a trunction

I was down upon one knee

stroking her vanity

I was stuck on her 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 (until you face is blue)

we can talk, but she'll get to you

after you've been loved and hated

by the ones who 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 on to)

she'll be the one (but it's too late for you too)

she'll be the one (who knows all your history)

she'll be the one (so you can cross her off your list)

and you try so hard

and you try so hard

and you try so hard

to be like the big boys
