I haven't really got much time for girls Don't get me wrong now Don't get me wrong now It's just my nights are occupied with lighting These damn lamps Oh, and night's a time for courting for girls Night's a time for courting for girls, isn't it? I've been propositioned by girls before On me lamp rounds, oh yes, I have But I'm at pains to explain it's not my line of trade Buying flowers and chocolate mice It's just the thought of commitment's totally wild Any sort of commitment's out of order, isn't it? I've had some girls come up to me Who said it won't take that long Just a quick one up the back one for the road And I'm at pains to explain I'm not that type of guy Send the sulking bitches on their way I seem to have a lot more time for guys Don't get me wrong now, don't get me wrong now It's just their wit and charm and conversation Captures youth and that's the truth Oh and youth's the time when cares traipse free I've had some girls come up to me Who said it won't take that long Just a quick one up the back one for the road And I'm at pains to explain I'm not that type of guy Send the sulking bitches on their way
