[Verse 1]
English girls are pretty when they play guitar
Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for
Ain't got a mother or father or a place to fall
She's got a brother in the blues, but he doesn't know the blues at all

[Chorus]
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time
I was just about to tell you but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing
English girls can be so mean

[Verse 2]
She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
Falling down in Camden like a couple drunken criminals
She had a messy bedroom on the edge on the town
But I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around

[Chorus]
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time
I was just about to tell you but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing
English girls can be so mean

[Post-Chorus]
But, ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink
