The Word Girl - Scritti Politti

To do what I should do, to long for you to hear

I open up my heart and watch her name appear

A word for you to use, a girl without a cause

A name for what you lose when it was never yours

The first time, baby, that I came to you

I’d do things that you want me to

The second time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, you found my love for you

The third time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, oh, oh, I knew

The last time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word

A name the girl outgrew, the girl was never real

She stands for your abuse, the girl is no ideal

It’s a word for what you do in a world of broken rules

She found a place for you along her chain of fools

The first time, baby, that I came to you

I’d do things that you want me to

The second time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, you found my love for you

The third time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, oh, oh, I knew

The last time, baby, that I came to you

Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how your flesh and blood

Oh how

Oh how

Oh how
