Lyrics

[Chorus]

The change will do you good

I always knew it would

Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you

But I know it's only lust

Your kiss so sweet

Your sweat so sour

[Instrumental]

Your kiss so sweet

Your sweat so sour

Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you

But I know it's only lust

The sins of the flesh

Are simply sins of lust

Sweat's running down your back

Sweat's running down your neck

Heated couplings in the sun (Or is that untrue?)

Colder couplings in the night (Never saw your body)

[Chorus]

Your kiss so sweet

Your sweat so sour

Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you

But I know it's only lust

The change will do you good

I always knew it would

You know the change will do you good

You know the change will do you good

[Instrumental]

Damaged goods (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Send them back (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

I can't work, I can't achieve (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Send me back (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Open the till (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Give me the change you said would do me good (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Refund the cost (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

You said you're cheap, but you're too much

[Chorus]

Your kiss so sweet

Your sweat so sour

Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you

But I know it's only lust

The change will do you good

I always knew it would

You know the change will do you good

You know the change will do you good

[Instrumental]

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

I'm kissing you goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) Bye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
