D-DU-UDU
 Well I don't  know if I'm wrong
 Cause she's only  just gone
 Here's to another relationship
 Bombed  by excellent breed  of gamete disease
 I'm sure  when I'm older I'll know  what that means
Cried  when she should and she laughed  when she could
Here's  to the man with his face in the  mud
 And an overcast play just taken  away
 From the lover's  in love at the centre of stage  yeah
Loving  is fine if you have plenty of time
 For walking  on stilts at the edge of your mind
Loving  is good if your dick's made of wood
 And the dick  left inside only half understood her
What  makes her come and what makes her stay?
 What make the animal run, run away yeah
What  makes him stall, what makes him stand
 And what  shakes the elephant now
  mute or G
 And what makes a man?
I  don't know, I  don't know, I  don't know
/9
 No I don't know you any more
No,  no, no,  no...
ooh  yeah... hey  hey...
 I don't know  if I'm wrong
 'Cause shes only just  gone
 Why the fuck is  this day taking so long
 I was a lover  of time and once she was  mine
 I was a lover  indeed, I was covered in weed
Cried  when she should and she laughed when she could
Well  closer to god is the one who's  in love
And  I walk away cause I can
Too  many options may kill  a man
Loving  is fine if it's not in your mind
But  I've fucked it up now, too many times
Loving  is good if it's not understood
Yeah,  but I'm the professor And feel that I should know
What  makes her come and what makes her stay?
What  make the animal run, run away and
What  makes him tick apart from him prick
And  the lonelier side
 mute or G
 of the jealousy stick
I  don't know, I  don't know, I  don't know
/9
 No I don't know you any more
No,  no, no,  no...
ooh  yeah... hey  hey...
 Well I don't  know if I'm wrong
 Cause she's only  just gone
 Here's to another relationship
 Bombed by excellent  breed of gamete  disease
 I finished  it off with some French wine  and cheese
 EITHER MUTE THIS, PLAY IT, OR JUST SING IT WITHOUT GUITAR
 La fille  danse
 Quand elle joue  avec moi
Et  je pense que je l'aime des  fois
 Le silence,  n'ose pas dis-donc
 Quand  on est ensemble
 Mettre  les mots
 Sur la petite dodo
