You do not like us 'cause
Your girlfriend likely does
And all your friends agree
On her soft spot for me
I'll have my hard hands over her soft spots soon you will see

And if you want a list
Of all the favorite bits
The next time I am free
Quite comprehensively
I will scrawl them all down for you as an apology

Tell her the times we shared
The broke have been repaired
Cinders of our old jokes
Have once again been stoked
But with a different girl, funnier now they've been rehearsed

Oh I hung on your every word
'Til we were interrupted by the birds
SInging "Oh your mask is slipping,"
"Oh your mask is slipping"

The songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs in spite as she came to earnin'

Because I never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
She said I never made her smile like that

She stuck the home club's crest
On me with cigarettes
A swift to match the bird
Upon her football shirt
She would lift the hem,
She would wear that thing like a skirt

The last time I was there
She let me wear her clothes
She painted my lips red
So that we both ensured
I'd kiss her every inch
My God the girl looked like she'd burned

Oh and I held on your every word
'Til we were interrupted by the birds
SInging "Oh your mask is slipping,"
"Oh your mask is slipping"

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs in spite as she came to earnin'
All these songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just killing time while my heart is on the mend

'Cause I never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
She said I never made her smile like that
