So your girlfriend wants to be a pop star
And beat the charts out of me
She wants to move a million units, man
Probably just to prove she can
And after a couple of hits
She'll be buying a new pair of mitts
I can see just where she's heading
She's as predictable as Armageddon
They don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
You should've just stuck with me
ย
Your girlfriend wants to be a pop star
And live in Primrose Hill
Well she'll join the meritocracy
And get to meet all of rock's aristocracy
Be someone everyone knows
All the designers send all their new clothes
But when she starts to look like Kylie Minogue
She might even get her picture in Vogue
Baby, they don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to
You should've just stuck with me
ย
Your baby wants to be a pop star
Probably just to spite me
But she thinks it's so easy to get to the top
But a girl like that, she won't know where to stop
But when her most recent therapist
Suggested maybe she become a Buddhist
She might even consider giving up red meat
Man, you're going to look back to when your life was so sweet
You know, they just don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to, baby
They just don't make 'em like they used to
You should've just stuck with me
You should've just stuck with me, baby
Yeah, listen to that
Oh I needed to relax
Baby, you just don't understand, this job is so demanding
(You're the one that's demanding, baby)
Oh, I can't stand it, just leave me alone
(Oh, I know)
Everything's such a drag
(You're breaking my heart)
You're so lucky to be anonymous
(Yeah, baby, I'm invisible)
So lucky
Is that for me?
You put that through to me?
Yeah, that's your bro calling through
It's calling from Detroit
The whole thing's awful, baby
You put that through?
You don't want to know what this man has to say
