Your sisters so cool she goes to university 

Your brothers got it sussed he takes biology 

Your dads not a criminal he's part of the economy 

Your mums not invisible she's knows about philosophy 



And it's so sad 

The way they have to be like that to me 

And it's so sad 

The way you had to leave the family 



You like to have a row it's part of your vocabulary 

You talk about love like you're gonna win the lottery 

You've got it all planned like daylight robbery 

Your friends just say he's such a cheeky monkey 



And it's so sad 

The way they have to be like that to me 

And it's so sad 

The way you had to leave the family 



How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 



You talk about the stars like a hippy on celery 

I'll do the washing up and you can play monopoly 

It's such an opportunity for you to start photography 

I ain't going there it's out of my geography 



And it's so sad 

The way they have to be like that to me 

And it's so sad 

The way you had to leave the family 



How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 



You go on about that bloke like you wanna marry him 

He's always getting drunk and I have to carry him 

But what's a name she has to take the blame 

I only want a laugh but here we go again 



And it's so sad 

The way they have to be like that to me 

And it's so sad 

The way you had to leave the family 



How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend 

How long have you been my girlfriend, girlfriend
