[Intro: Michael]
Woo!
[Verse 1: Michael]
It started on a weekend in May
I was lookin' for attention, needed intervention
Felt somebody looking at me
With a powder white complexion, feeling the connection
[Pre-Chorus: Calum, Michael]
The way she looked was so ridiculous
Every single step had me waiting for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me out a bar to the back seat of her car
[Chorus: All]
When the lights go out, she's all I ever think about
The picture burnin' in my brain, kissin' in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playin' in my head of her king-size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair
[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My English love affair
[Verse 2: Luke]
Next thing we were back at her place
A hideaway in Mayfair, all the great and good there
Drinkin' all the way to third base
Princess getting naked, falling on their faces
[Pre-Chorus: Calum, Luke, Luke & Calum]
The storyline was so ridiculous
Every single step had me begging for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me up the stairs and it wasn't ending there
[Chorus: All, Ashton]
When the lights go out (Lights go out)
She's all I ever think about (Think about)
The picture burnin' in my brain, kissin' in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playin' in my head of her king-size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair
[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Bridge: Ashton]
When I got out, I knew
That nobody I knew would be believin' me
I look back now and know
That nobody could ever take the memory
[Chorus: Calum, Ashton, All]
When the lights go out (Lights go out)
She's all I ever think about (Think about)
The picture burnin' in my brain, kissin' in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playin' in my head of her king-size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair
[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
My English love affair
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
My English love affair
