Don't show your tears boy they'll laugh you out the house
Got to be a man now, anything less is just not allowed
But don't keep it quiet girl don't rest until
They come round to your way of thinking, soon enough they will

And all this talk of love when that's something you've never known
It's too undignified, and much too close, it's much too close to home

Times are tough and that's no way to live
Well you may be right but I don't like your alternative
And times like these they sort the boys out from the men
And down here with the girls is where I end up again

And all this talk of love when that's something you've never known
It's too undignified, and much too close, it's much too close to home

Well should I say well done when I know how he was stung
You were his prize and jewel, you turned out to be cruel

But I always rejoice to see us win some ground from off the boys

And all this talk of love when that's something you've never known
It's too undignified, and much too close, it's much too close, much too close
It's much too close to home
