lyrics

Now me and my girl don’t get on so well
At least that’s most of the time
And sometimes we row, she can be a real cow
And it drives me out of my mind
I keep hearing a ting as she throws back her ring
And it bounces off my skin
But I don’t never say nothing at all, ‘cos I can never win
No I don’t never say nothing at all, cos I can never win

As I recall, she headed off down the hall
And picked her bags up off the floor
She tripped on the cat, then slipped on the mat
Before she slammed the front door
Left me feeling sore, it was then that I swore
That I wouldn’t take it on the chin
‘Cos I don’t never say nothing at all, but this time I might win
No I don’t never say nothing at all, but this time I might win

Now I’m happy as Jack and I’m up for the crack
And I’m heading off down the boozer
Gonna catch up with mates, gonna stay out late
Now let’s see who’s the loser
Have a gallon of ale, and a few Rusty Nails
And it’s my round, I’ll get ‘em in
Now I can’t speak, can’t say bugger all, but I am gonna win
No I can’t speak, can’t say bugger all, but I am gonna win

But all good things must end now
And everyone’s gone home
I’m going round the bend now
Don’t want to be alone

Waking up the next day and I’m in a bad way
And I got to admit, I’ve missed her
She’s not so bad, best that I’ve ever had
And it’s ages since I’ve kissed her
I’ll apologise, wipe the tears from her eyes
Admit what a fool I’ve been
And I’ll never ever say nothing no more, ‘cos she will always win
No I’ll never ever say nothing no more, ‘cos she will always win
