Lyrics
Well, it happened years ago
When you lived on Stanhope Road
We listened to your sister
When she came home from school
'Cause 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 want to see, as well as hear
And so I, I hid inside her wardrobe
And she came around four
And she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road
I listened outside and I heard her
Alright!
Oh, I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah - yeah!
When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell
'Cause you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Steve
And Steve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing
When 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
You might be my girlfriend,
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-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
And when I opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on, yeah
Oh, 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 'cause she looks like you
Yeah
Oh, I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah - yeah!
