Song Lyrics

Do you see the way she lights up when I walk in the room
That's good
And the skip in her step when we're both out walking in the neighborhood

This one's almost done now to watch her fall apart
I trained her to love me so I can go ahead and break her heart

If you think that it's depraved and I should be ashamed
So what
I'm only paying back womankind for all the grief I've got

I've got the latest believing, for ever I'll be true
I trained her to love me, now excuse me, I got work to do

I trained her to love me
And I'm gonna start working on another after this
And when I got that one in a state of bliss
Betray her with a kiss

Well one time, one call of bluff told me I only do this cause I can
And I'm bound to wind up one lonely twisted old man
But look out here comes a prime contender for my agenda

If ever there was one and I'm gonna train her
To love me until it's time to do what must be done

I trained her to love me
And I'm gonna start working on another after this
And when I got that one in a state of bliss
Betray her with a kiss

Nick Lowe, Bobby Trehern
