Lyrics D.I.Y - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

D.I.Y

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?
Well, 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
D — she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I — if you’re idle in love 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
Some women feel if you put her on a seal
It will keep your fella out of reach
But it ain’t always so if 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
Well he wasn’t for deceiving
But suddenly he was leaving ‘cause I lost him to a D.I.Y
Come on, girls, if she’s wearing a dress
She got high heels and she couldn’t care less
Come on, girls, it’ll happen again
Come on, folks, just an ordinary guy
D — she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I — if you’re idle in love they can steal from the very first dance
Y, Y, 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
