[Verse 1]
He wants to know
What it feels like to mess around, mess around
She wants to know
What it feels like to settle down, settle down
He's got the money but, oh it's not enough
He wants to pounce, he wants to pounce
[Pre-Chorus]
Never knowing if he's given you up
Are you're just not good enough?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
She wants to know why he's not home

He's at the Sexotheque
He never answers the phone
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
[Verse 2]

Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
She wants to know why he's not home
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
He never answers the phone
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
She wants to know why he's not home
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
He never answers the phone
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
She wants to know why he's not home
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
He never answers the phone
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
He never answers the phone
Oh, I'll bet money, money, money, I bet
He's at the Sexotheque
(I bet, oh I bet, he's at the Sexotheque
He's at the Sexotheque)
