Everything but The Girl - Tears All over Town lyrics

Don't be unkind, for once be untrue -

can't pretend I care for her, only you

Just be on time, spare me your shame,

for once don't mention her name.

Now I cannot claim angel's wings,

but mention her name and I'll wreck everything

I saw things not meant for my eyes,

I was happy once and then twice.

I said things I shouldn't have said.

I told tales of days in your bed.

In love and war there's nothing sacred.

Just don't pretend, wherever you go,

there are things that only I know -

because I'm sure, when she's there,

that you tell a few of the secrets of yours

that I had kept for you.

I saw things not meant for my eyes,

I was happy once and then twice.

I said things I shouldn't have said.

I told tales of days in your bed.

In love and war there's nothing sacred.
