The Professional |
| I’m back, in full effect |
| I can’t even hold myself erect |
| I got nothing, that I wanna say |
| I’m gonna say it, anyway |
| I know you think that I’ve lost it baby |
| I know you think that my star is fading |
| You used to be a contender, now you’re just a pretender |
| Psychic karaoke every weekend |
| You don’t fit in those clothes anymore |
| Why don’t you take them back to the charity store? |
| While you’re there, you can always hand yourself in |
| You’re into green issues, start recycling |
| You hide behind your woman when you’re out on the town |
| Sure wouldn’t blame her for holding you down |
| Holding you down, holding you down |
| You’re the only one who’s holding you down |
| You’re only ever polite when you’re out of your box |
| Cocker’s short for sucker… |
| A sucker of… |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| A sucker of… |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| When I got up today I had that feeling again |
| Everything was okay then the world started seeping in |
| Now I’m trying to sleep it away |
| Oh but I can’t sleep it away |
| Can you answer this question can you answer it right? |
| Have you ever done anything good in your life? |
| Have you ever done anything that wasn’t just for yourself? |
| Are you capable of giving? |
| Are you capable of giving just for the sake of it |
| Without expecting anything in return? |
| I’m only trying to give you waht you’ve come to expect |
| Just another song about single mothers and sex |
| Single mothers and sex |
| Single mothers and sex |
| Just another song about single mothers and sex |
| OK, you’ve heard it before; |
| It’s nothing special |
| But it’s a living, can’t you see? |
| I’m a professional |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Yeah, I’m a professional |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Sleep on my darling |
| Sleep on don’t wake as I leave |
| I’ve been rehearsing this scene so long now; |
| Don’t interupt me as I do it for real |
| The bedroom floor is treacherous |
| A tea-cup could be disastrous; |
| Cos that would mean I would have to say |
| What is written in the letter I posted yesterday |
| So that it would get here when I was gone |
| And you awoke |
| Oh, she will meet me from the train |
| And she won’t know a thing |
| About how I talk with my mouth full and only bath once a week |
| How I’m nicer the first time you meet me than the next |
| And I’m rapidly losing interest in sex |
| Yeah I’m rapidly losing interest in sex |
| What’s the point in making it over-emotioanl? |
| You can do it the hard way |
| Or you can be a professional |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| I’m a professional |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh |
| Oooh oooh ooooh |
| (Okay) |
| Sleep on my darling |
| Sleep on my love |
| Sleep on my darling |
| Sleep on my love |
| Sleep on my darling |
| Sleep on my love etc |
