Oh I lived in a tenement six floors above
I lent you my records and I lent you my love

But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
G7sus
That's a dirty and a low-down trick
C G
My folks all think you're mean
But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty
You always set those break-ups in the movies
And just like a light honey you put me out
Now I'm gonna do my best
To get you back in the nest you came from

You can erase me if you want to

Turn your back in other men

Honey, we'll go steady again
It's nasty without you in my little room
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
I was joking with those things I said
I couldn't have been thinking
If you don't come back I think I'll crack
Just like my old ceiling
