Lyrics

Oh, she always used to be the same
She'd be loose with a straight dark facial frame
And now the things that used to turn me off, I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees and she lays naked in the clearing
I adore her, but I ignore her
See, I know it won't last as I reflect upon my past
But on severance she makes no difference
There's things I won't let her know, as we're perfecting our show
I won't ignore her, I think I'll phone her
I can't explore her if I ignore her
And now the things that used to turn me off I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees as she lies naked in the clearing
But she won't beckon, is what I reckon
She might adore me, but she'll ignore me
Tell them to show there, and we get nowhere
She helps my snoring, so it never gets boring
And she always used to be the same
She'd be loose with a straight dark facial frame
And now the things that use to turn me off, I find endearing
And they laugh behind the trees and she lays naked in the clearing
