Lyrics D.I.Y - Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott

Some girls lose their boys after years
Some lose them right at the start
Standing in line, it's a question of time
Who's gonna be the next broken heart

Well, my heart belonged to a love so strong
I would love him 'til the day that I die
But I didn't lose my love to the Lord above
I lost him to a D.I.Y

D - she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I - if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y - she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus 'cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

Some women feel if you put her on a seal it will keep your fella out of reach
But it ain't no soul you can grab them from below
That's a lesson every woman can teach
But my man was just the sort you could trust
You could look a fella right in the eye
Well, he wasn't for deceiving
But suddenly he was leaving 'cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

D - she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I - if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y - she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus 'cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

L-A-D-I-E-S
Come on girls, if she's wearing a dress
T-H-I-E and F
She got high heels and she couldn't care less
W-O-M-E-N
Come on girls, it'll happen again
H-I-S-T-O-R-Y
Come on folks, just an ordinary guy

D - she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I - if you're idle enough they can steal from the very first dance
Y Y Y - she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus 'cause we lost him to a D.I.Y
