D.I.Y - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

Some girls lose their boys after years

Some lose them right at the start

Standing in line, it’s a question of time

Who’s gonna be the next broken heart?

Well, my heart belonged to a love so strong

I would love him ‘til the day that I die

But I didn’t lose my love to the Lord above

I lost him to a D.I.Y

D — she was so determined to take him right out of my hands

I — if you’re idle in love they can steal from the very first dance

Y — she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I

But we gave them all our kisses

Now they found another missus

‘Cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

Some women feel if you put her on a seal

It will keep your fella out of reach

But it ain’t always so if you can grab them from below

That’s a lesson every woman can teach

But my man was just the sort you could trust

You could look a fella right in the eye

Well he wasn’t for deceiving

But suddenly he was leaving ‘cause I lost him to a D.I.Y

Come on, girls, if she’s wearing a dress

She got high heels and she couldn’t care less

Come on, girls, it’ll happen again

Come on, folks, just an ordinary guy

D — she was so determined to take him right out of my hands

I — if you’re idle in love they can steal from the very first dance

Y, Y, Y — she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I

But we gave them all our kisses

Now they found another missus

‘Cause we lost him to a D.I.Y
