[Intro - Spoken]
Alright, so this is a song about anyone
You could be doing your own thing and someone comes outta the blue, and they're like:
"Alright, whataya saying?"
"Yeah, can I take your digits?'
And you're like, "No, you're nasty, please leave me alone."
[Verse 1]
Cut to the pub on a lad's night out
Man at the bar, 'cause it was his shout
He clocks this bird and she looked okay
She caught him looking and walked his way
"Yeah, alright, darlin', you gonna buy us a drink then?"
"Er, no, but I was thinking of buying one for your friend..."
She's got no taste, the hand on his waist
Tries to pull away, but her lip's on his face
"If you insist, I'll have a White Wine Spritzer"
"Sorry, love, but you ain't a pretty picture"
[Chorus]
Can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
"Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And, no, you can't have my number, 'cause I lost my phone"
[Verse 2]
I recognize this guy's way of thinking
As he walks over, her face starts sinking
She's like, "Ah, here we go"
'Cause It's a routine check that she already knows
Yeah, she's thinkin', "They're all the same"
"Yeah, you alright, baby? You look alright still
Yeah, what's your name?"
She looks in her bag, takes out a fag
Tries to get away from the guy on a blag
Can't find a light - "Here, use mine"
"You see, the thing is I just don't have the time"
[Chorus]
Can't knock 'em out
You can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
"Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And, no, you can't have my number, 'cause I lost my phone"
[Bridge]
Go away now, let me go
Are you stupid, or just a little slow?
Go away now, I've made myself clear
"Nah, it's not gonna happen mate, not in a million years!"
[Chorus]
You can't knock 'em out
You can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
"Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And, no, you can't have my number, 'cause I lost my phone"
[Chorus]
You can't knock 'em out
You can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say
"Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And, no, you can't have my number, 'cause I lost my phone"
