lyrics

Girls are like a black cat
They're lucky but they leave you
Girls are like a black cat
They pretend that they don't need you

Baby girl you don't want me
'Cos I'll only get it wrong
I need a drink to start my day
That's my situation
Don't look around for something better
The problem is you'll find it

Baby girl this'll never work
'Cos you need a man like your daddy
No, I can't do it over
But you know I want to badly
Don't look around for something better
The problem is you'll find it

Baby girl what's the matter?
We both knew this from the start
That my love is roman candle
That someday would break your heart
