(Don't Mess Around with) A Girl from Another Man's Song

from Big Big Sounds by The Late Joys

lyrics

Will you or won’t you? Behind the door she sits
The train has left the station, that lock wants to be picked
I’m not saying anyone’s to blame
If I were in your shoes, I might just do the same

She’s sending signals the smoke gets in your eyes
You’re caught up in her headlights but you don’t realize
I’m not saying anyone’s to blame
If you jump her tracks, she might drive you insane

She plays like nothing’s wrong, but you’ve known all along
You don’t mess around with a girl from another man’s song

So you’ve been blinded, it’s such a simple brew
A loaded word, "temptation," I’ve got my eye on you
I’m not saying anyone’s to blame
If I were in your shoes, I’d probably do the same

Some day I might be gone, but you’ve known all along
You don’t mess around with a girl from another man’s song

Your idea is theft, a will and away
She’s out of your depth, it’s your turn to pay
You won’t hear my steps, you’ve made a mistake
Go rewrite your text, black marks on the page

You’re caught up in my headlights, but you don’t realize
The train just keeps a-comin’, the smoke gets in your eyes
I’m not saying anyone’s to blame
If I were in your shoes, I might just do the same

Oh yeah, you’ve done me wrong, ’cos you’ve known all along
You don’t mess around with a girl from another man’s song
You don’t mess around with a girl from another man’s song
You don’t mess around with a girl from another man’s song
