Prefab Sprout - The Yearning Loins lyrics

You see that boy, so simply pale All his dreams unspoken Now in her arms, he'll quickly heal The yearning loins have woken Take out and wave Your ankle socks The white flags of surrender She tried so hard not to let it show But he's the first one, first one to know He makes a vow to stay fancy free But that's the last thing, last thing he'll be She knows his name but she asks him who That's the worst thing, worst thing to do Sha-da-da-da-da-day You college boy, you've read it all All your questions loaded Describe for me, the point at which The yearning loins exploded Take out and wave Your ankle socks The white flags of surrender She tried so hard not to let it show But he's the first one, first one to know He makes a vow to stay fancy free But that's the last thing, last thing he'll be She knows his name but she asks him who That's the worst thing, worst thing to do Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Who lets you go out untidy? Who lets you sit very near? Who lets you fancy her mother? Who puts her tongue in your ear? What makes that girl, the lovely swirl Here where the poor are hurtin' Not her shoes, not their shine The yearning loins are stolen And what they say, hope you're not shy Will get you swift and swooning She tried so hard not to let it show But he's the first one, first one to know He makes a vow to stay fancy free But that's the last thing, last thing he'll be She knows his name but she asks him who That's the worst thing, worst thing to do She tried so hard not to let it show But he's the first one, first one to know He makes a vow to stay fancy free But that's the last thing, last thing he'll be She knows his name but she asks him who That's the worst thing, worst thing to do Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
