[Hook]
Sophie, you're so mean
Ah, left me in this uncanny
House I bought for you to live with me
Ah, but you dumped me, you're silly
[Verse 1]
I can't sleep
When I'm angry
Back to back is how we bed-story
Is it really you I married?
Or is it just a Newbie I share nights with?
In your Converse All-Star, you're quite cute-looking
In my flashy old car, you loved to take spins
Reading Kama Sutra instead of touching me
Aren't I just an old man who loves to take a swing?
[Hook]
Sophie, you're so mean
Ah, left me in this uncanny
House I bought for you to live with me
Ah, but you dumped me, you silly
[Bridge]
I wanna sit close to the window now
I wanna sit, I wanna sit, ey
[Verse 2]
Suddenly
The police
You silly
I told you stop screaming
Shit, your nose bleeds
Should have put away my ring
Now hurry!
Be as normal as you can be!
There's nothing to explain here
I pushed her
Why d'you fell?
You bruise so quickly
This time, it's nothing, I can tell!
As soon as she gets better, she wants to leave again
But aren't I just an old man who loves to take a swing?
[Hook]
Sophie, you're so mean
Ah, left me in this uncanny
House I bought for you to live with me
Ah, but you dumped me, you're silly
[Bridge]
I wanna sit close to the window
I wanna sit close to the window
I wanna sit close to the window
I wanna sit close to the window
(Ahh!)

The first idea for the song came to me in a friend’s kitchen, riffing around with an unamplified electric guitar. A line appeared: “Sophie, you’re so mean!” and I knew immediately: this is the hook.
