[Verse 1: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith]

"Please be careful" is never careful

Till it hears the gun

She will always pay the bills

For the having big fun

He talks so well (Talks so well), what can you do?

It's pretty plain (Pretty plain), he means it too

I don't want to sell you lines

I only mean to do you right

But I'm a simple slave of appetite

I'm a poor slave of appetite

[Verse 2: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith]

Hunger howls (Hunger howls), hunger's red

Hunger stays (Hunger stays) till it's fed

Then it some ha-ha-how fades

Then it somehow leaves your sight

[Pre-Chorus]

Depending on its appetite

Depending on your appetite

[Chorus]

So if you take, then put back good

If you steal, be Robin Hood

If your eyes are wanting all you see

Then I think I'll name you after me

So if you take, then put back good

If you steal, be Robin Hood

If your eyes are wanting all you see

Then I think I'll name you after me

I think I'll call you appetite

[Synth riff: Thomas Dolby]

[Verse 3: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith]

Here she is with two small problems

And the best part of the blame

Wishing she could call him "Heartache"

But it's not a boy's name

If you grow (If you grow) up to be

Just like him (Just like him), just like me

You're fighting for exclusive rights

For honeymoons each sleepless night

[Pre-Chorus]

In which case I'll call you appetite

Yes, I think I'll call you appetite

[Chorus]

So if you take, then put back good

If you steal, be Robin Hood

If your eyes are wanting all you see

Then I think I'll name you after me

I think I'll call you appetite

So if you take, then put back good

If you steal, be Robin Hood

If your eyes are wanting all you see

Then I think I'll name you after me

I think I'll call you appetite

Then I think I'll name you after me

Yes, I think I'll call you appetite
