                        A
Throw away your old address book
                          D
of the guys you used to know
                              E
Get all dressed up with your best look
                             A  E
I'll take you to the movie show

                            A
You look lovely when you're angry
                         D
but I love the way you smile
                       E    D
We can while away the hours
                        A
or we can walk another mile

Chorus:
A                           E
My darling don't you ever change
                                A
I don't think I'd be quite the same
                        E
I thought I was in control
                        A
I thought I was in control

If I knew then what I know now
of the chances at the time
Didn't know that I'd be missing
a chance to lay it on the line

I could have asked you if you needed,
or maybe wanted, to get out
But it didn't really matter,
we got together anyhow

Chorus

Threw away your old address book,
took a while to realise
You'd be better off with someone,
what I mean is me and mine

So whatya doing at the weekend?
Shall we make it Friday night?
Anywhere you fancy going,
and any way with me's all right
