[Intro, ad-libbed]

[Verse 1: Paul Heaton, Dave Hemingway]
Girl, go make a list
Go out and find yourself a new plaything
Oh, girl, you need a trip
Cause he's not worth the misery and pain

[Pre-Chorus 1: Hemingway; Briana Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton]
So just remember how he would tell you lies
And then pretend that everything was so sweet
No need to sacrifice if you're not satisfied
He's just a canine running round on heat (Woof!)

[Verse 2: Hemingway & Heaton]
Girl, you must resist
Don't let him squirm his way into your heart
Oh, girl, I must insist
You've got to stop the fool before he starts

[Pre-Chorus 2: Hemingway; Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton]
So just remember how he was so untrue
And all the tacky things he did to you
No need to sympathise, 'cause he's not worth the time
You've got to find someone who's true to you
[Chorus 1: Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton]
Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you're the best he's ever had
Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you're the best he's ever had

[Instrumental]

[Outro: Corrigan, Hemingway, & Heaton]
Girlfriend, how could you let him treat you so bad?
Girlfriend, you know you're the best he's ever had
Girlfriend
