Call your girlfriend
Call your boyfriend
Tell 'em you're not coming home tonight
Because you're mine now
And they could never live up to me
Now every passing glance is sexualised
A pointless night out so conceptualised
There's still a hint of laughter left in your eyes
But don't be surprised if that joy it dies
And it's a well known fact we only want the ones
We have absolutely no chance with
And it's a surefire sign you're getting drunk
If I'm anything but unattractive
Some drink so that they can forget
But you drink to remember
Something you can't QUITE forget
Tinged with regret
Around December
Do you want to talk about it?
When the lights flicker out tonight
Hold on, don't let me go
Our blank future is still so bright
Hold on, don't let me go
Tonight
Now every passing stranger's glance is sexualised
This time it's men's turn to be objectified
There's still a hint of laughter left in your eyes
But don't be surprised
If that joy it dies
Stand together we can come as a unified whole
All I want is your heart all I want is your soul
All I want is something to keep me occupied
When I'm all alone
You're not alone
Say "You're alone"
