C#            B
We lay on the bed there
C#               Bbm
Kissing just for practice
         B
Could we please be objective?
          F#                        C#
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
            B
A hand over my mouth
  Bbm
A hand over the window
         B                    F#
Well, if I remain passive and you just want a cuddle
        C#                   G#
Then we should be ok, and we won't get in a muddle
B
Seeing other people
   F#                              G#
At least that's what we say we are doing


C#          B
How are you feeling?
C#                       Bbm
I don't think you can be dealing
         B              F#
With the situation very well
                       C#                    G#
You take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's ok

But when it's over
        B                      F#                         G#
You are looking at the working week through the eyes of a gigolo

C#                  B
You're kissing your elbow
C#                  Bbm
You're kissing your reflection
        B                            F#
And you can't understand why all the other boys are going for the
C#                  B
New, tall, elegant, rich kids
Bbm
You can bet it is a bitch, kid
       B                          F#
But if they don't see the quality then it is apparent that
       C#
You're going to have to change
          G#                       B
Or you're going to have to go with girls
                    F#
You might be better off
                                G#
At least they know what they're doing
