Love Beats Me Up

Could never walk away from that girl
She’s the only one in the world
She’s the ruler of the table-top
She’s no persnickety, she’s real persimmon
She’s all I got
She’s a pretty serene surrender
Unlike Chrissie she’s no pretender
She’s my coupe dynaflow
She’s no disguise and it’s no surprise
She’s all I know
I said love gets really tough
That’s when love beats me up
I don’t own my own record player
I use hers its just the same
We’re getting so much more au fait (er)
She’s soya chookin' and I’m just lookin'
At summer again
I said love gets really tough
That’s when love beats me up
She wants to move my monty picture
I’ve got a thing about where it goes
I think she wishes I was richer
Well it ain’t too bad, I’m fair to middling
Oh, so-so…
I said love gets really tough
That’s when love beats me up
