My Girl – Madness (1979) (st)

My girl's mad at me

She thought I'd had enough of her

I found it hard to say

I didn't wanna see the film tonight

Why can't she see

Every now and then

But I like to stay in

She's lovely to me?

And watch t.v. on my own

My girl's mad at me

I tried and tried but I could not be heard

Been on the telephone for an hour

We hardly said a word

She doesn't realise

Why can't I explain?

'Cause everything I say

She doesn't understand

Why do I feel this pain?

She takes it all the wrong way

We argued just the other night

My girl's mad at me

We talked and talked until it was light

I thought we'd got it straight

She says I'm unaware

I thought we'd talked it out

She says that I don't care

And now she says I'm weak

I thought we'd agreed

Now when I try to speak
