He lives his life in a world full of women And he takes what he wants from their love And he throws the rest away I cling to him and pray But still he slips away And now it's just too late To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life so she leaves him And she finds someone else, falls in love And she travels far away I say that it's ok And swallow all my pain And now it's just too late To wish her back again
They left me here on my own in a nightmare And I just can't forgive any more So I smile and turn away Don't listen when they say They wish that I could stay And now it's just too late To wish me back again
Shake, baby, shake You know I can fit you in my arms Brake, baby, brake Taking me in with all your charms
I've never been inside you but you're so alluring They call you "little mouse" by name in Rome and Turin Looking now at your famous shape They don't make them like you anymore
Shake, baby, shake You know I can fit you in my arms Brake, baby, brake Taking me in with all your charms
When things are looking good there's always complications I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station Let's run away and be so alive Escape the drudgery of this nine to five
Shake, baby, shake You know I can fit you in my arms Brake, baby, brake Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake You know I worship from afar Brake, baby, brake How I wish you were my car
Shake, baby, shake You know I can fit you in my arms Brake, baby, brake Taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake Shake, baby, shake Shake, baby, shake Shake, baby, shake I will
I've been so happy since I walked away I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today 'Cause you were nothing but a big mistake And life is wonderful, now that I'm rid of you
Oh I must've been crazy to have stayed with you I can't believe I thought I was in love with you But now the scales have fallen I can really see And I say go to hell, 'cause that's where you took me
Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door You always cramped my style, I never noticed before It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop I can't believe I fell for such a loser like you
And is it any wonder that I felt so blue When I was always having to put up with you
Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history
I know that you miss me really, bet you wish that you still had me You'll never find someone like me but I've got no regrets at all
'Cause I've met this girl and she's so good to me She's really beautiful, fantastic company Oh, when I'm with her I realise what love can be 'Cause she's fifty times the person you will ever be
Good luck, mister, do you think I care? Since you've been gone the offers have been everywhere I've got a million guys just lining up for me I've turned a corner, boy, my life is ecstasy
Well, I've been in heaven since I walked away I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today 'Cause you were nothing but a waste of space And life is wonderful now that I'm over you
Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night This guy says, "come and meet my girlfriend" She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight
So I say "hello" and I try to be nice But I see he's feeling itchy Trying to play us off each other "Girls, girls, please don't fight" (You get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the long hair Telling me that women are superior to men Most guys just don't appreciate this You just try convincing me you're better than them
So he talks for hours 'bout his sensitive soul And his favourite subject is sex I don't even think he really wanted it But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him) I'm as human as the next girl I like a bit of flattery But I don't need your practised lines Your school of charm mentality so Save your breath for someone else and Credit me with something more When it comes to men like you I know the score, I've heard it all before
(Here comes the next one) Blondie was with me for a summer He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite I'm weak and he was so persistent He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh God, the boy had such an ego He liked to talk about himself all day and all night You think you're such a ladykiller But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light
When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself And he's watching his reflection I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself Here's seven years' bad luck
(I wanna tell him) When you say you love me You're just flattering your vanity But I don't need your practised lines, Your school of charm mentality so Save your breath for someone else and Credit me with something more When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard it all before
Ooh, you're such a ladykiller, Always on a winner, thinking that you're in there Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller, Super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh You think you're such a ladykiller, I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller, But we know where he's coming from and we know the score.
So you want to be alone Run and hide inside your home Watch you fall away from me Sinking into misery Taste your smile and hold my hand Make you laugh and make you dance I remember this Everything was in our kiss Sink my hands into the sea Reach your fingers up to me Trust me one more time I can only try Throw yourself to me And I'll try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free Let me try to pull you free
Oooh Outside you are waiting for me, hiding You catch me when I am Needing a friend to hold You can soothe me, lie above me Press hard Then you strike And I think that I'll die 'Cause I can't breathe, can't breathe Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming
Oooh Please let me start screaming Eyes are open seeing nothing Hands are tied and I can't function Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming Please let me start screaming
You are the one In your concrete arms I adore you Dirty and dear Block out the sun In your twists and turns I invade You show me no fear
We blow around like tiny leaves in a big storm Finding there's nothing left to breathe or to keep warm You ebb and flow and your rhythm beats my head Leave me alone while you swallow up your dead
You are the one You cradle me and kill Caressing my face
Leave me undone You suffocate and have me This is the place
Every door conceals a dream and a nightmare Nothing is ever really pure in the stale air
And when it's dark everything becomes more clear Lie in the park when I want to have you near
You are the one In your concrete arms I adore you Dusty and dear Block out the sun In your twists and turns I invade You show me no fear
Left it unsung I shall leave but I'll return Poison my lungs, my blood is full of lead Things unsaid My love for you still burns
Silly girl I run around and never know my reasons And though you're laughing with me I know what you say about me I can't explain It's not your business anyway So don't say you understand And don't pretend you're on my side
And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse than me
You hypocrite Don't talk to me cos you're not fit to know me So don't pretend that you could've ever been a friend And still I'm sure you think it's OK what you've done to me Cos I'm so bad to him Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie
Silly girls we run around and never know our reasons And though I understand I guess I say that you betrayed me
I'm a hypocrite I dish it out but I can't take it I know You think its wrong but maybe you're right but this is my song And still I'm sure you think that it's OK what she did to me Cos I'm so bad to him Dont even try to hide behind that stupid smile
I know our kind, and I know where our loyalties lie
I'm not interested in what you have to say You're just a vacant space Other people's lives upon which you prey it's a permanent disgrace Why do you think you know what's best for me What I should and shouldn't do Why do you judge my history And tell me to improve in the confines of your mind You think we're all the same I've left them all behind Though you wish I hadn't in finding fault in others I can't see What you have to gain I know that you get pleasure from Other people's pain
You're not so perfect and I realise the scene That you're all coming from When you say you care I know what you mean You're really lying All the people around here Love to hear about a fall They all surface and disappear In an instant in the confines of your mind You think we're all the same, I've left them all behind Through you wish I hadn't
He lives his life in a world full of women And he takes what he wants from their love And he throws the rest away I cling to him and pray But still he slips away And now it's just too late To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life so she leaves him And she finds someone else, falls in love And she travels far away I say that it's ok And swallow all my pain And now it's just too late To wish her back again
They left me here on my own in a nightmare And I just can't forgive any more So I smile and turn away Don't listen when they say They wish that I could stay And now it's just too late To wish me back again
