D.I.Y by Paul Heaton
[Verse 1]
Some girls lose their boys after years
Some lose them right at the start
Standing in line, it's a question of time
Who's gonna be the next broken heart
My heart belonged to a love so strong
I would love him ‘til the day that I die
But I didn't lose my love to the Lord above
I lost him to a D.I.Y
[Chorus]
D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus ‘cause we lost him to a D.I.Y
[Verse 2]
Some women feel if you put her on a seal it will keep your fella out of reach
But it ain't no soul you can grab them from below
That's a lesson every woman can teach
But my man was just the sort you could trust
You could look a fella right in the eye
If it wasn't for deceiving
But suddenly he was leaving ‘cause we lost him to a D.I.Y
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
L – A – D – I – E – S
Come on girls, if she's wearing a dress
T – H – I – E and F
She got high heels and she couldn't care less
W – O – M – E – N
Come on girls, it'll happen again
H – I – S – T – O – R – Y
Come on folks, just an ordinary guy
[Chorus]
