I think love is just a load of crap
But having said that
If you'd love me the way that I love you
I'd take it all back

I don't give a dam about you now
And I'm not being sour
There's plenty more of you where I come from
On the hour
Every hour

And I don't suppose you'd consider
Accompanying me out to dinner
Found this really cute little French place
The food they tell me is Greek
I'll understand please forgive me
What's his name is it Dave
Does he take you everywhere
I'll bet
He's lousy in bed
Not like me

Oh I think women are completely daft
But having said that
How many of them do you ever hear
Get a heart attack
And having said that
