Its been a bloody stupid day
My baby called me up to say
Dont call me love, dont call me
Its not all she said
I truly love her but I know
Im bad for her, Im bad and so
At least she may forgive me for my honesty
My friend came back from being abroad
He was rich and I was overawed
His ship came in
Im standing on the harbour wall
Another friend, the one I love
Turns to me "have you seen enough? "
"lets hang about
Theres nothing like a sunset"
Its been a bloody stupid day
Dont leave the light on baby
My baby called me up to say
Dont leave the light on baby
Ill see you sometime maybe
Dont leave the light on baby
It finally dawned on me tonight
Best to go down without a fight
I know you will forgive me for my honesty
