Confidence |
Every little blemish and every little smell |
You get tears for doing madly and a kiss for doing well |
But you’ve got to promise not to tell |
It’s confidence |
Outside the clubs of boyhood |
Inside monogamy |
All we know is that |
Daytime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Nighttime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
I’m scared to tell my mother and I’m scared to tell my mates |
All the rotten smother and all the petty hates |
Who haven’t got the nerve to break… confidence… |
Outside the likes of business |
Inside these bedroom walls |
All we know is that |
Daytime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Nighttime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
«When I met you, it was only you, it’s only you that are true to me |
And I can struggle, I can fight |
As a young man, there’s nobody new that I can turn to… |
Because you’re a girl…» |
Daytime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Nighttime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Stuck along together, you’ll be stuck at home all day |
Stuck its way of talking about what I wouldn’t say |
To all the boys at work and play |
With confidence |
Outside the cuts of manhood |
Inside monotony |
All we do is that |
Daytime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Nighttime… |
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby… |
Confidence inherent in what a man must do |
Reflects on everybody in confidence to you |
But you haven’t got the heart to tell me… |
