This Little Romance

When I met you

It was midway through the summer

Wearing dungarees

Like a Dexy's Midnight Runner

We spent three or four weeks together

And hit the rocks in no time whatsoever

I've chewed right through the end of my tether

It looks like we ain't gonna live forever in clover

Call me arrogant - perhaps I am

But I ain't a tramp and this little romance

Is over... it's all over

Every time there's a break in the conversation

You imagine I'm lost in admiration

You may be cute but you ain't no sensation

And I can do without the aggravation

Whoever might be my ideal dream

I know it ain't gonna be some teenage poser

You still think I wanna get into your pants

You're crazy baby - this little romance

Is over... it's all over

You call me hard and cold

You must be joking

When I get close

You only put the spoke in

Please don't bother to write or try to phone me

I know you tell your friends how you've outgrown me

How come you're acting so surprised -

I keep my ears and both of my eyes wide open

Why bother giving it one more chance

The magic's missing - this little romance is over

I don't give a monkey's, don't give a damn

I'm happier now this little romance

Is over... it's all over
