Lyrics The Vibrators

The Vibrators

EVERYTHING I DO IS WRONG

Better keep my head down while I sing this song

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Bought you some new shoes

They were the wrong colour

Got you a new coat

You said it would better suit your mother

I wish you’d tell me what’s going on

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Wanted to take you away on a holiday

You said we couldn’t afford to pay

Then a few hours later, guess what?

You say we never go away

Phone you, it’s too early

Phone you again, it’s too late

You want everything on a silver plate

Can’t go anywhere

‘Cos you’re never ready on time

When I point this out

The fault’s all mine

Yeah, I wish you’d explain what the hell’s going on

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Yeah, I came to pick you up in my car

But you’d given me the wrong address so you weren’t there

Tried to get you a better job, you went mad at me

Said you now liked working at your factory

Told me not to make a big deal of your birthday

Now six months later I’m still having to pay

Tried to take you out to a nice restaurant

You screamed at me, this ain’t what you want

Excuse me for being such a total moron

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Gotta keep my head down while I sing this song

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Don’t think you love me no more

‘Cos this ain’t love, it’s a civil war

Gotta keep my mouth shut, another twenty minutes is gone

Waiting for you to put your lipstick on

You’ve forgotten how to talk, now all you do is shout

I guess you got tired and the brute in you got out

Sometimes get to thinking I should be moving on

‘Cos everything I do is wrong

Everything I do is wrong (8x)
