I wouldn't kill for the love of a woman
I don't drink or fight here anymore
I've cried wolf to you more than enough
for one life and that's for sure

Now a woman doesn't like a weak man
I don't enjoy being down here on my knees
But showbusiness convention requires that
I do the full show before I get my fee

Chorus
I'm not yet cured of happiness,
I'm only here beside you tonight
'cos I need a rest, I need a rest
and I heard you had a bed

Although you might like to forget me
I've dissolved in the water that you drink
I plague your shopping list
I furrow your brow when you try to think

Honey remember me, the best man at your wedding
Your faithful pussycat, your long lost sidekick
It was me you always turned to
when you were face down lying through your teeth

Chorus

Something in your life is still missing
Seven years ands till you search for me
Is he under the rug, heavens above,
where on earth can that boy next door be?

Now it's time someone took a taxi
And it's high time someone paid the bill
Baby, remember to call my name out loud
Whenever somebody loves you well

Chorus

with clean sheets ...
take the phone off the hook
I need a sudden change of pace
and I heard you had a bed
I'd be obliged to your kindness
I need a rest
and I heard you had a bed
