my ex-girlfriend's boyfriend's got a band
he writes love songs about her
even I can understand
and he's got a certain something I suppose
his new song's on the radio
and this is how it goes
(this is him singing)

I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world anymore
(he doesn't want to live in this world anymore)
where will I find true love?
(where will he find true love?)

my ex-girlfriend naked on the sand
a summer's day two years ago
when I was still her man
I was the expert then at takin' off her clothes
and that's all ancient history
and that's the way it goes

but I've been working on my keyboards
(yeah right)
practising guitar
and taking lots of bass lessons to expand my repertoire
and my new girlfriend my new girlfriend
my new girlfriend my new girlfriend
my new girlfriend my new girlfriend
my new girlfriend my new girlfriend
my new girlfriend's boyfriend's got a band
