Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts

There's always somebody taller
with more of a wit.
And he's equipped to enthrall her,
And her friends think he's fit,
And you just can't measure up, no -
You don't have a prayer,
Wishing that you had made the most of her
when she was there.
They've got engaged -
No intention of a wedding.
He's pinched your bird,
And he'd probably kick your head in.
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts -
You're better off without her anyway.
You said you wasn't sad to see her go.

He might be one of those boys
That's all pretty and vain,
Likes to go in the sun bed
stays out of the rain.
So that he don't get his hair wet
’cos you wouldn't want that.
At least he hasn't got a Nova,
Or a Burberry hat.
They've got engaged -
No intention of a wedding.
He's pinched your bird,
And he'd probably kick your head in.
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts -
oh you’re better off without her anyway.
You said you wasn't sad to see her go of, but of course you were.

Have you heard what she's been doing?
Never did it for me.
He picks her up at the school gates at twenty past three.

She's been with all the boys
But never went very far.
And she wagged English and Science
Just to go in his car.

They've got engaged -
No intention of a wedding.
He's pinched my bird,
And he'd probably kick my head in, oh.
Now the girls have grown,
But I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways.

Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts -
So I'm better off without her anyway.
I said I wasn't sad to see her go,
But I'm only pretending, you know.
