The Wildhearts - Eager To Leave 'Er

Whatever happened to all that love?
How come enough is now not enough?
Tell me when I began to annoy you?
And will someone else get the blame after I do?

Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer

How long since I’ve been fascinating?
Since the grass was green and the bed was shaking?
Did we change too much or too much need changing?
Or maybe all guys could do with a little re-arranging

Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer

Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er

When did the kindness turn into a weakness?
Who left the gaps in the conversation?
Is it ambition that creates competition?
Wasn’t it you that saw the true impression?
Why do I have to ignore you to get your attention?
Ever get the feeling you just can’t give in?
Rather both of us die than one of us win
If it happens again, you gonna blame him?
What if it’s really as good as it gets?
How does it feel if you live with regret?
What if the best times just haven’t been yet?
We’re all holding onto a bet

Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to please her
Now you’re on your back
Like a golden retriever
Eager to leave ‘er
You try to reach her
But she beats your hand
Like a Blackjack dealer

Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er
Eager to leave ‘er
Maybe a little too eager to leave ‘er
