words and music by Joe Jackson)



Chorus:

Hey you

I'm dancin' with your girl

Her head is in a whirl

She don't know who to turn to

All right

I'll leave her just this time

But she could soon be mine

And I could soon be hers too

One night

Soon if I'm lucky gonna get that girl

I'm gonna make her mine



He sits there drinkin' gin and

She sits there drinkin' beer like me

He's timing every move but

She's only killing time like me

And of course

What will be will have to be

But I tread carefully

It could be a case of right place right time



Chorus
