That Thing You Do - The Wonders (or Mafia)

You
Doing that thing you do
Wrecking my toys into a million pieces
The same way you did to dad's car

And you
Don't mean to be cruel
You merely shouted across my ear and said
" It's time for you to bathe! "

Chorus
But I try and try to convince you, Mum
But it's just so hard to do
You look more like a tiger than dad's truelove

I
Know all the games you play
And I'm gonna tell daddy secretly that
You've lost all the money he made

Cause we
Could be happy can't you see
If you only didn't lose the money on gambling
But buy us toys instead

Chorus
But I try and try to convince you, Mum
But it's just so hard to do
You look more like a tiger than dad's truelove

Bridge
I don't ask a lot, Mum
I just hope for one thing, Mum
That you increase my allowance
And stop dressing me up like a doll... WOAH!!!!

Cause we
Could be happy can't you see
If you only stopped dressing me like a kid
But give me pretty earrings

But I try and try to convince you, Mum
But it's just so hard to do
You look more like a tiger than dad's
You look more like a tiger than dad's
You look more like a tiger than dad's truelove
