Lyrics[]

Why do you come here
And why, why do you hang around
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me
When you know, oh
Why do you come

Why do you telephone
And why, why send me silly notes
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me
When you know, oh
Why do you come

You had to break into my room
Just to read my diary
It was just to see, just to see
All the things you knew I'd written about you
Oh, so many illustrations
Oh, but
I'm so sickened
I am so sickened now 

It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay, good lay, oh
