[Verse 1]

She's a movie star arrangement

Got a touch of Bergman in her face

She wears suits and buys him flowers

Smokes his cigarettes and bakes him cakes


[Pre-Chorus]

He says, "Uh-oh I love you

But I'm not sure I trust you

You seem strange to me"


[Verse 2]

She's got green eyes and she's lovely

Reminds me of the 'it' girl with her lips

Got an automatic license

Reads all Dostoievsky's household tips


[Pre-Chorus]

He says, "Uh-oh I love you

But I'm not sure I trust you

You seem strange to me"


[Chorus]

How come everyone suspects her

Attach her to a lie detector

Watched a thousand housewives fizz and burn

And every time she answers yes

The needles on his polygraph test

Just go round in circles like his brain


[Verse 3]

She's got long hair but she's ugly

Got a touch of Einstein to her brain

She wears fat clothes but she's cunning

People say she's easy all the same


[Pre-Chorus]

He says, "Uh-oh I love you

But I'm not sure I trust you

You seem strange to me"


[Chorus]

How come everyone suspects her

Attach her to a lie detector

Watched a thousand housewives fizz and burn

And every time she answers yes

The needles on his polygraph test

Just go round in circles like his brain


[Outro]

It took a thousand cliches just to scold her

Took a man from Stepford and a tape recorder

Got his ego broken, so crestfallen

You made a start, you made us laugh

Stop it, you're a grown man baby

It's just that your head's no good
