Lyrics

Well it happened years ago
When you lived on Stanhope Road
We listened to your sister
When she came home from school
Cos she was two years older
And she had boys in her room

We listened outside and heard her - all right.

Well that was all right for a while
But soon I wanted more
I want to see as well as hear and so I
I hid inside her wardrobe
And she came round four
And she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road

I listened outside, I heard her - all right

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell
Cos you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve
Oh yeah, and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing
When his Mum and Dad were gone

I listened outside, I heard you - all right

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah

Well I guess it couldn't last too long
I came home one day and all her things were gone

I fell asleep inside
I never heard her come
And then she opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on

Oh yeah - listen

Oh we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won't believe it's true:
I only went with her cos she looks like you - My God!

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah
