I plucked her young from a silly scene
Gave her enough lies to live on
But now her daddy's made
He owns a shop in Hayes
But he can't dream for the both of us

I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again

Said, let's tour the streets on fire
So we rode a caravan to Yarmouth
Stole at sea air, acted Debonair
At the ram jam, the bingo, the bandstand

I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again

Her old man said she'd been had
We're a Jezebel and Cocktail Charlie
Now she mops the floors at blue movie stores
Just to keep us on the Richmond Lights

I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
Short term boyfriend
Short term boyfriend
Na na na...

We both knew it would come to this
A flippant kiss down the arcade
Now I'm taking you home for your college ball
Be happy, be happy, be happy!

I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
But I'd do you, I'd do you again
I'm just a short term boyfriend
Short term boyfriend
Short term boyfriend
Na na na..
