Everybody knows. He comes and goes. But the smell of his last cigarette,
( )x3
still lingers in your clothes. So don t be stupid and naive, he s only
Playing cupid. And no matter what he says,
He s only skimming off the cream. And he s only stoking boilers, while his
engine gathers steam

He isn t good enough. He isn t good enough to me.
He s only using you.
He s Only passing through.
Cause he s a wide boy, sitting in the back row.
Necking with his girlfriend. Goin to a go-go.
Wide boy. Really goin nowhere.

Everybody knows. When the sewer overflows.
He ll be the one that always comes up, smelling like a rose. With one foot
in your doorway. And one hand on your heart. He ll never do it your way.
So don t part with the rubber gloves. Till the Turtle doves find a place to
stay in. Cos I saw Expresso Bongo. When I was a kid. So I know what I m
saying.
