[Verse 1]
Crammed 'round a table for eight, everyone having a laugh
You called me your ball and chain, now why would you do that?
(Ooh)
Bought my fifth mattress this year, 'cause we'll never be in the black
Our budgets are very clear, now why would you do that?
(Ooh)

[Chorus]
Sorry I can't know myself
That's your job, I fear
Just try not to know too well
I might just surprise you, my dear
(Why would you do that?)
(Ooh, why would you do that?)

[Verse 2]
Today I was reading a poem, but my eyes skipped over a line
Guess that's what I don't want to know, now why would you do that?
(Ooh)
And so I've been sick for days, but you keep coming up just to chat
I love staring at your face, now why would you do that?
(Ooh)

[Chorus]
Sorry I can't know myself
That's your job, I fear
Just try not to know too well
I might just surprise you, my dear
(Why would you do that?)
(Ooh, why would you do that?)
