You know what it's like
This happens to everyone one or twice

You were driving off in a taxi
Leaning out the window and shouting your number
But I got me, I got away by the skin of my teeth that time
And you were telling me; you were dancing close to me
And you were telling me you had an idea

But don't say I shouldn't worry ‘til the morning ‘cause I’m worrying now
I got a boy and we've been together you see
Before I knew you
Before you knew me

Now I've made my choice
And I'm sticking to it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing to do with it

We were driving off in a taxi
You were looking out the window
And I was looking down at the floor
There's nothing to say anymore
We both know why we're here
And now you tell me
You've got me in your room
And now you're telling me you want this to work

But don't say I shouldn't worry ‘til the morning ‘cause I’m worrying now
I got a boy and we've been together you see
Before I knew you
Before you knew me

Now I've made my choice
And I'm sticking to it
And Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing to do with it

So tell me when you're out next
So I don’t go out too
Then make a fool of myself again
So tell me when you’re out next
So I don’t go out too
Then make a fool of myself again

I've made my choice
And I'm sticking to it
And this has nothing to do with it
I've made my bed I’m gunna lie in it
And guilt has nothing

I got a boy and we've been together you see
Before I knew you
Before you knew me

Now I've made my choice
And I'm sticking to it
And guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing, nothing to do with it
Guilt has nothing to do with it

You know what it's like
This happens to everyone one or twice

Falling in love is sometimes hard
Writing a love song is even harder
Better to leave that to someone else
Someone madder

But this is a song about feeling left out
And this is a song about not being ready
To do what you’ve been told to do

This is the last drink I’m ever gonna have
This is the way that its making me feel
I used to come here to have a good time
But I could feel like this at home

And the couples walk by and they give me the eye
And I can see that the girls just a little bit jealous
Well anytime you want to swap just stop me

Yes people have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
You’re not lonely
I am baby

So the couples walk by and they give me the eye
And it seems like the boys got a thing for me
Well my advice is not to get involved

And closing time’s now non-existant
So I could stay till judgement day
I could stay till I get bored of the couples walking by

Yes people have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
You’re not lonely
I am baby

Oooh ooohhh
You’re not lonely
I am baby

A million people in the cosmos tonight
Must be rare in this age of life
But none of them can hold a candle to me

And the couples walk by and they give me the eye
But that’s not what I what I walk
Around the block and never come back one day
I walk around the block and never come back one day

Yes people have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
People have the nerve to tell me that they’re lonely
You’re not lonely
I am baby

Oooh ooohhh
You’re not lonely
I am baby

I know you’re only doing what comes naturally
I know you’re only doing what comes naturally

Oh you
You and her were pretty cruel
You both planned to leave your lovers and run off with each other
And leave us to look like fools

Oh you
You said “I know I’ve been unkind”
And you swore blind it was the last time you’d ever leave a girl behind
But how did she know you were telling the truth?

Oh you thought you were clever
You thought you were smart
But you were just too clever by half
But you were just too clever by half
While you were making plans
I was going with her man
Then we left you to be clever
To be clever together

Oh you
You thought that you were pretty smart
But when you and her were out I would go round to his house
And I don’t have to tell you what we did next
No I don’t have to tell you what we did next
No I don’t have to tell you what we did next
No I don’t have to tell you what we did next
But you’re not so clever now

Oh you thought you were clever
You thought you were smart
But you were just too clever by half
But you were just too clever by half
While you were making plans
I was going with her man
Then we left you to be clever
To be clever together

I know you’re only doing what comes naturally
I know you’re only doing what comes naturally
I know you’re only doing what comes naturally
I know you’re only doing what comes naturally

I don't watch soap operas, maybe I should
I need to know if being the bad guy is any good
Would you forgive me now?

So many things I used to think about,
I never dare act out
I didn't want to risk the chance of someone finding out
Now I'm going to hell, so I may as well, make it worth my while
Now I'm going to hell, so I may as well, make it worth my while

The first time that it happened, well you knew that it was wrong
The only thing I'll never regret is why it took so long
Now I'm going to hell, so I may as well, make it worth my while
Now I'm going to hell, so I may as well, make it worth my while
Would you forgive me now?

I don't watch soap operas, maybe I should
I don't watch what I say, I'm through with being good
So many things I used to think about, I never dare act out
Now it's not worth asking you if you'd forgive me now

I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
But maybe that's the problem, or maybe it's just as well
(Oh)

I'm going to hell, so I may as well make it worth my while
I'm going to hell, so I may as well enjoy myself and go down with a smile
Would you forgive me now?
Would you forgive me now?
Would you forgive me now?
