Nice Guy Eddie

So I'll admit that it all started as a scam

'Cause every girl wanted you and a year round tan

We know you're old but you're kind

You're rich and your heart is dicky

Yes, I knew that you wanted me

And he said, "Hey, love, how are you fixed?

We'll meet at ten past, now it's quarter to six

We'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa"

It may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

And then we both settled down to our favourite meal

"D'you fancy veal parmesan and a case of warm Chianti?

"Pass my bag I picked up that bra you fancied"

"Yes, I knew that you wanted me"

And he said, "Hey, love, how are you fixed?

We'll meet at ten past, now it's quarter to six

We'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa"

It may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to

It may sound funny, it wasn't supposed to be

Oh we knew it couldn't last

And we should have left it long before

One great year and one for luck

And like all good things you soon want more

You were always so polite

I think I loved you, oh

And I said, "Hey, love, I'm making it easy on us

I'll leave and a few of our dreams turn to dust"

All night making love on your sofa

And it may sound funny but wasn't supposed to

Summer '92, I remember it clearly

When he choked on the olive in his dry Martini

There was dismay from the friends he was close to

And it may sound funny but it wasn't supposed to be
