- Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts -

There's always somebody taller with more of a wit
And he's equipped to enthrall her and her friends think he's fit
And you just can't measure up no, you don't have a prayer
Wishing that you'd made the most of her, when she was there

They've got engaged, there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched your bird and he'd probably kick your head in

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you're better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I know you were though

He might be one of those boys
That's all pretty and vain
Likes to go in the sunbed
And stays out of the rain
So that he don't get his hair wet
You wouldn't want that
At least he hasn't got a Nova
Or a Burberry hat

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh you're better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but it's clear you were though

You hear what she has been doing, never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gate at 20 past 3
She's been with all of the boys but never went very far
And she wagged English and Science just to go in his car

They've got engaged, there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched me bird and he'd probably kick my head in, oh
Now the girls have grown
Yeah, but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh I'm better off without her anyway
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I'm only pretending you know

Yeah, I'm only pretending you know
I was only pretending you know
I was only pretending you know
