He wants to use it
     G5**         G5**
But don't change a single thing

And put it in a song to sing

Bridge:

  C
Ah, how your father went away
Dm
How your mother got her way
Em            F
How your brothers never let you join in

 Didn't do too well at school

Feel a failure but you'll
Em        F
Be famous if you let him touch you

Don't throw it away

It means more than a song

  (Mmm)
D5**    C5**
  They're pinheads

Have you met them?
      G5**       D5**
But they've got nothing to say

Oh, he just stands there - in the corner
  C5**         G5**
And never dares join your game

Bridge:

 He wants to take you out

'cos he can see that you've got something
C               Dm

He's only after just one thing

And that's the thing that makes you different

Verse 3:

D5**  C5**  D5**  C5**    D5**
         These things are worthless
  C5**       D5**
You see them in a magazine
   C5**        D5**
T-t-trainers, slip-slip-dresses
C5**          D5**
 But you know what it means - oh!

 They want a piece of something they've never felt

Something they can't have and then you go
C              Dm
And in the end they want to suck you dry
          Em
'Cos they know you turned out well
       F
And you don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
