[Verse 1]
A change would do you good
I always knew it would
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
[Verse 2]
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sweat's running down your back
Sweat's running down your neck
The sins of the flesh
Are simply sins of lust
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
[Verse 3]
Heated couplings in the sun
Colder couplings in the night
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Your kiss so sweet
Your kiss so sweet
[Bridge]
Damaged goods (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Send them back (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I can't work, I can't achieve (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Send me back (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Open the till (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Give me the change you said would do me good (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Refund the cost (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
You said you're cheap but you're too much
[Verse 4]
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
A change would do you good
I always knew it would
You know a change would do you good
You know that change would do you good
[Outro]
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
I'm kissing you goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
