Everything But the Girl - Laugh You Out The House Lyrics

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
