[Verse 1]
Will I be graced with your presence tonight?
I'd really rather you just let me know
'Cause I'm stood here
Like a spare prick at a wedding
I can get my dignity
My smedley, my brogues and I'll go

[Chorus]
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver
For that you said you had the knack
What did you mean? Has nobody told you
Told me what? No they must have forgot
He's just a friend, yeah you said, it happens all the time
Is that right? In that case everything will be just fine

[Verse 2]
Spotted you, flew over hills
Thought maybe it was just your cousin
Even so please god do not let that be her
Took one look at your cardigan
Your jeans on backwards
Me jaw dropped and I went, oh, fuck
Because I knew that it were
[Chorus]
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver
For that you said you had the knack
What did you mean? Has nobody told you
Told me what? No they must have forgot
He's just a friend, yeah you said, it happens all the time
Is that right? In that case everything will be, it'll be just fine

[Bridge]
How would you feel, if I had done that to you?
How, how would you feel, if I had done that to you?
How would you feel, if I had done that to you?

[Chorus]
You could have just stabbed me in the back
There was no need to use the revolver
For that you said you had the knack
What did you mean? Has nobody told you
Told me what? No they must have forgot
He's just a friend, yeah you said, it happens all the time
Is that right? Well in that case everything will be just fine
