Oh yeah, I wanna get close, Close to you girl. I wanna get close, Close to you girl.

Cool down Papa, don’t you carry that bag
You’ve been working all day long.
I don’t like Monday’s, they’re becoming a drag
Don’t keep me waiting up all night long.

Why don’t you use me, Before they use me up?

A lot’s gone missing since the breaking of day,
I’ve been driving for four days now.
I keep on asking what the doctor would say,
I keep on choking, cos’ I’m too proud.

Why don’t you use me…

So if you see me in a couple of years
Why don’t you ask me if I’m alright?
All I’m hoping is a couple of beers.
Why don’t you join me, or stand aside?

Why don’t you use me…

Jack MeJack MeI'll jack you till' you screamI'll Jack youOh yeah, oh yeah
I'll Jack youIf you want itI'll jack you, jack you, jack you...

Flashbacks of girlfriends pastThe way her mouth moved when she laughedIt’s easy to feel sadI swear it never hurt that badAnd I don’t know whyAnd I’m not sure how
I’ve been living the dreamAnd now she claims it set her backShe broke the rules she wroteI sent her letter back ‘cos I’m fineAnd I don’t know whyBut it’s alright now
She said her pet hate was a cheatI packed her bags and watched her leaveAnd head for the station
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t around
She’s so not in the know
She said she’d never let me goThen left me in the coldAnd everyone who knows us knowsThat it weren’t quite right
I’d worked out in my head
That all the plans we’d made were doneShe slept round and she creptShe’d always said it looked like funAnd I loved her liesBut I caught her outShe claimed it must be make believeAnd ripped my heart from off my sleeveAnd I’m not even sure that it mattersLately
I still retain my common senseI’ve heard she’s tired of sitting on the fenceMaking promises she’d never keepBreaking promises she made to me
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t aroundLatelyLatelyLately
