Out Of My System - Pet Shop Boys, Jonathan Harvey, Shell Christian

No!

What?

Of all the boys

in all the world

I had to choose this one

Where’d he come from?

Dumb and deluded

young and confused

suddenly gay

Who’d be in my shoes?

It had to be me

who found out the truth

after catching him

with the roughest youth

Now I’ve ripped away his mask

don’t turn to me and ask…

What’s the matter with you, girl?

Isn’t it obvious?

What’s the matter with you, girl?

Whaddaya mean what’s the matter with ME?

We get the picture

Yes, we see

what you’re going through

but what you gonna do?

What do you think I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna do

what’s overdue…

I’m gonna get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

I’m getting him out of my system

I’m gonna get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

I’m getting him out of my system

Uh-oh, girlfriend, wounded pride!

Your boyfriend bats for the other side!

You’re sure we’re not gonna suddenly find

Tomorrow morning you change your mind?

My decision is implacable

because we’re not compatible

sexually

eventually

after three months sleeping

in my bed

every night

held me tight

and this is what

does in my head!

He runs off with his pride and joy

a young, drug-dealing, East End boy!

We get the picture

Yes, we see

what you’re going through

but what you gonna do?

What do you think I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna do

what’s overdue…

I’m gonna get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

I’m getting him out of my system

I’m gonna get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

Get him out of my system

I’m getting him out of my system
