lyrics

Some girls need a lover
To take home to their mother
I know some daughters like that kinda guy

I hugged her in a club with
Nothing but a hug
But that's, okay a hug can be enough

Look at her she knows the know
A show is still a show
It's time to leave
Somewhere else
Where she ain't gonna go

I don't have to smoke with guilt upon my mind
I don't have to nod with worry just behind
And I don't have to know she's buried other guys
Not anymore
Not anymore
Oh no no no no no no no no no
Cause I don't have to go back home
To her

I'd fall from bar to bar
A job to get that far
I'd sometimes stop and watch a busker play

And then would come the call
A question then she'd ball
Down Grafton Street till I could barley stand

To hear her voice
She knew the know
I'd stumble to a fall
It's time to leave somewhere else
Where she ain't gonna go

I don't have to smoke with guilt upon my mind
I don't have to jog with worry just behind
And I don't have to know she's buried other guys
Not anymore
Not anymore
Oh no no no no no no no no no
Cause I don't have to go back home
To her

Play your song boy
It's been too long boy
You found out what was wrong
It's time to leave somewhere else
Where she won't come along

I don't have to smoke with guilt upon my mind
I don't have to run with worry just behind
And I don't have to know she's buried other guys
Not anymore
Not anymore
Oh no no no no no no no no no
Cause I don't have to go back
I don't have to go back
I don't have to go back
I don't have to go back
I don't have to go back home
To her
