Early Christmas Present lyrics

How could you let her touch you

In a place you didn't want touched

How could you let her get so close to you

That she could kiss your neck

And kiss it gently

And kiss it gently

And kiss it gently

How could you take her number from her

When you met her in that bar

How could you offer her a drink

And then the front seat of your car

And kiss her gently

And kiss her gently

And kiss her hard

How could you lie to me right to my face?

How could your best friend's ex-girlfriend's

Younger sister's mate, know before I did?

Before I did

Before I did

How could you string me along for so long

For just over eleven months

How could I be so stupid and sublime

You know I think I had a hunch

About this anyway

About this whole thing

About this girl

I thought that it was just a phase

You were so distant and so cold

I thought that it was just your age

And the fear of getting old

You acted different

You were so different

You were impatient

And you lied to me right to my face

And your best friend's ex-girlfriend's

Younger sister's mate, knew before I did

Before I did

Before I did

'Cause if you run into the eye of the storm

To get round the back

You better hit the floor

'Cause screaming

No, I can't take it

I can't take it

I can't take it anymore

'Til your eyes and your mouth is sore

Doesn't help anyone

Doesn't do anything

But you'd do something else

If you only could

And I wish I could grow up

Wish I could be well behaved

But every time I look him in the eye

I send him to the grave

And that pretty, pretty girl

With her nice neat lips

With your eyes on her chest

And your hands on her hips

This itch, this burn

This pain, this strain

Dealing, turned out

That we don't need to

Help it go away

So that's what

Leaving me

The gift you gave him

I can't take it

I can't take it

I can't take it anymore [x8]
