Lyrics:
Sit by my window and look outside
Wonder why a sun don't shine on me
What's wrong with you, you stupid child?
Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see?
Don't talk too much 'cause she falls for the soft touch
Makes her feel everything is secure
Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
She's probably halfwit, she must be straight
Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate
Don't want to laugh, I'd rather knock her down
Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning
So isolated that she thinks that the army
Is the place where a man oughta be
Don't bother with them, they don't bother me
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
They got the walk they got the talk right down without a flaw
At six o clock I got to stop my dreaming at the counter of the store
Don't bother with them
Without a doubt I got to intercept
Must be time someone went and shouted in their ear
"You look all right in that cheap green dress
But every time you swish it round you make me disappear"
Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing
Making everything a mystery
Don't bother with it, it don't bother me
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with them, they don't bother me
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother, bother, bother, bother
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with them, they don't bother me
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
Don't bother with the local girls
