                               G
I heard he spent five hundred pounds on jeans
D                   Em
Goes to the gym at least six times a week
C                         Bm
Wears boat shoes with no socks on his feet
       D                           Em
And I hear he’s on a new diet and watches what he eats

He's got his eyebrows plucked and his arsehole bleached
Owns every single Ministry CD
Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means
But I heard he makes you happy so that's fine by me

But still, I'm just keeping it real,
still looking at your Instagram and
I'll be creeping a little
I'll be trying not to double tap,
from way back, cause I know that's
where the trouble's at

Let me remind you of the days
when you used to hold my hand
And when we sipped champagne out of cider cans
I guess if you were Lois Lane,
I wasn't superman, just a young boy trying
to be loved
So let me give it to you

Chorus:
Em                   G               D
I don’t wanna know about your new man
                  Em
‘Cause if it was meant to be
     C                     Bm
You wouldn’t be callin’ me up tryin’ to
            D                             Em
‘Cause I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me

I don’t wanna know about your new man
We’ll get there eventually
I know you’re missin’ all this kind of love
But I’m positive that he don’t wanna know about me

Your new man rents a house in the 'burb
And wears a man bag on his shoulder, but I call it a purse
Every year, he goes to Málaga with all the fellas
Drinks beer, but has a six pack, I'm kinda jealous

He wears sunglasses indoors, in winter, at nighttime
And every time a rap song comes on, he makes a gang sign
Says "Chune, bwoydem light up the room!"
But enough about him, girl, let's talk about you

You were the type of girl
who sat beside the water readin'
Eatin' a packet of crisps,
but you will never find you cheatin'
Now you're eatin' kale, hittin' the gym
Keepin' up with Kylie and Kim

In the back of the club, kissin'
a boy that ain't him
Okay, you need to be alone
And if you wanna talk about it,
you can call my phone

I just thought I would tell you,
'cause you oughta know
You're still a young girl tryin' to be loved
So let me give it to ya

Chorus

 Em            G                   D
Baby, I’m not tryin’ to ruin your week
     Em                  C
But you act so differently
Bm                        D          Em
When you’re with him, I know you’re lonely

Please remember you’re still free
To make the choice and leave
Don’t call me up, you need to show me

Chorus
