Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Turner] There's always somebody taller With more of a wit And he's equipped to enthrall her And her friends think he's fit And you just can't measure up though You don't have a prayer Wishing that you'd made the most of her When she was there [Pre-Chorus: Alex Turner] They've got engaged There's no intention of a wedding He's pinched your bird And he'd probably kick your head in [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, you're better off without her anyway You said you wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but I know you were though [Verse 2: Alex Turner] Now you don't know what she's up to You can only assume If she's not in the front of the shops Then they've gone to his room Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff Bet that's what he likes I know you thought she were different And you thought she were nice [Pre-Chorus: Alex Turner] But she's not nice She's pretty fucking far from nice She's looking at you funny Rarely looking at you twice [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, you're better off without her anyway You said you wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but it's clear you were though [Verse 3: Alex Turner] Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me He picks her up at the school gate At twenty past three She's been with all of the boys But never went very far And she wagged English and Science Just to go in his car [Pre-Chorus: Alex Turner] They've got engaged There's no intention of a wedding He's pinched me bird And he'd probably kick my head in Oh, now the girls have grown Yeah, but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, I'm better off without her anyway I said I wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but I'm only pretending, you know Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know I was only pretending, you know I was only pretending, you know
