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, alright
Well that was alright for a while
But soon I wanted more
I wanted to see as well as hear
And so I hid inside her wardrobe
And she came home round four
And she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road
I listened outside, I heard her alright

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
And you might be my girlfriend
Yeah yeah yeah....

When I saw you the next day
I really couldn't tell you
`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, alright

Oh I want to take you home
I want to give you children
Yeah you might be my girlfriend
Yeah yeah 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
Oh and she opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on
Yeah oh listen,
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
Yeah you might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
