You used to get it in your fishnets
                             
C#m
 
Now you only get it in your night dress
                                    
F#m
 
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
                        
B
 
Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
                                  
C#m
 
Remember when the boys were all electric?
                                
F#m
 
Now when she's told she's gonna get it

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
                             
E
 
Clinging to not getting sentimental
                              
C#m
 
Said she wasn't going but she went still
                               
F#m
 
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
                                   
B
 
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?
