This was written after listening to yet another singer songwriter explain that the break up with his partner was not at all his fault and that even though it was painful he was happy to sing about it.

lyrics

Last night my baby done left me
That’s why I’m singing to you
I wrote this song about how she made me suffer
Now it’s your turn to suffer too.

There must be something wrong with my baby
I hope you’ll agree
Cos if nothing’s wrong with the woman who left me then
Something might be wrong with me.

She said that I was so stupid
Said it was just plain to see
Told her friends she’d had microwave ovens
With more intelligent features than me

Said I didn’t pay attention
Said that I just didn’t care
Then she said things I’d rather no mention
Like me having the sexual skills of a panda bear

There must be something wrong with my baby
I know you’ll agree
Cos if nothing’s wrong with the woman who dumped me then
Something might be wrong with me.

I’m not one to blow my own trumpet but I have committed no sin
It’s just every time I wrestle with my conscience
It’s me not my conscience that wins

Thank you for hearing my story
It means so much to me
You’ve been far cheaper than rehab or counseling
You have been my therapy

You can’t put a price on my feelings
You know that she hit me so hard
But for five pounds and ten p
I’ll sell you thin song on a CD
I take Visa and Mastercard

There must be something wrong with my baby
I know you’ll agree
Cos if nothing’s wrong with the woman who dumped me then …..
…we had a good think going on then she had to spoil it
all because I would never flush the toilet
I got down on my knees asked if there was any way to move her
She said ‘too late boy, you should have learned to use the Hoover.’

I only found out on the day we were parting
She never liked my comedy farting
We something must be wrong
I knew it all along
Something must be wrong with me.
