Still Take You Home

Song byArctic Monkeys

in AlbumWhatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

It's ever so funny, I don't think you're special I don't think you're cool

You're just probably alreyt, but under these lights you look beautiful

But I'm struggling, I can't see through your fake tan

And you know it for a fact that everybody's eating out of your hands

What do you know?

you know nothing

But I'll still take you home

Fancy seeing you in here, you're all tarted up and you don't look the same

I haven't seen you since last year and surprisingly you have forgot my name

But you know it and you knew it all along

Oh you say you have forgotten, but you're fibbing go on tell me I'm wrong

I fancy you with a passion, you're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too

You're a fad you're a fashion and I'm having a job trying to talk to you

But it's alright, put it all on one-side,

everybody's looking, you've got control of everyone's eyes

Including mine
