Out Of My System

No!
What?
Of all the boys
in all the world
I had to choose this one
Where’d he come from?
Dumb and deluded
young and confused
suddenly gay
Who’d be in my shoes?
It had to be me
who found out the truth
after catching him
with the roughest youth
Now I’ve ripped away his mask
don’t turn to me and ask…
What’s the matter with you, girl?
Isn’t it obvious?
What’s the matter with you, girl?
Whaddaya mean what’s the matter with ME?
We get the picture
Yes, we see
what you’re going through
but what you gonna do?
What do you think I’m gonna do?
I’m gonna do
what’s overdue…
I’m gonna get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
I’m getting him out of my system
I’m gonna get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
I’m getting him out of my system
Uh-oh, girlfriend, wounded pride!
Your boyfriend bats for the other side!
You’re sure we’re not gonna suddenly find
Tomorrow morning you change your mind?
My decision is implacable
because we’re not compatible
sexually
eventually
after three months sleeping
in my bed
every night
held me tight
and this is what
does in my head!
He runs off with his pride and joy
a young, drug-dealing, East End boy!
We get the picture
Yes, we see
what you’re going through
but what you gonna do?
What do you think I’m gonna do?
I’m gonna do
what’s overdue…
I’m gonna get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
I’m getting him out of my system
I’m gonna get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
Get him out of my system
I’m getting him out of my system
