Lyrics Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott – D.I.Y.

Some girls lose their boys after years
Some lose them right at the start
Standing in line, it’s a question of time
Who’s gonna be the next broken heart

D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you’re idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another Mrs. ’cause we lost him to a D — I — Y

Some women feel if you put him on a seal
It will keep your fella out of reach
But it ain’t just a soul you can grab from below
That’s a lesson every woman can teach
But my man was just the sort you could trust
You could look a fella right in the eye
If it wasn’t for deceiving
But suddenly he was leaving ’cause we lost him to a D — I — Y

D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you’re idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another Mrs. ’cause we lost him to a D — I — Y

L – A – D – I – E – S
Come on girls, if she’s wearing a dress
T – H – I – E and F
She got high heels and she couldn’t care less

D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you’re idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y — Y — Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now he found another Mrs. ’cause I lost him to a D — I — Y
