Em                                  D                  A
He doesn't cook or clean, he's not good boyfriend material
(Ooh, we can eat cereal)
Em                                 D                   A
You'll lose interest fast, his relationships never last
(Shut up girlfriends from the past)
Em                                     D                A
He says he'll do one thing and then he goes and does another thing
Em                                                  D

Love is a delicate thing, it could just float away on the breeze
(He said the same thing to me)
Em                                                                 D   A
How can we ever know we've found the right person in this world?
(He means he looks at other girls)
Em                                   D         A
Love is a mystery that does not follow a rule
(This guy is a fool)
Em                                             D      A
He'll always be a boy, he's a man who never grew up
(I thought I told you to shut up)


Em      D          A
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Mona, you told me you were in a coma)
Em        D          A
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Tiffany you said that you had an epiphany)
Em        D          A
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Mm, would you like a little cereal?)
Em     D          A
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
(Who organized this choir of ex-girlfriends, was it you Carol Brown, was it you Carol Brown?)
