[English]

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick

Oh, what a skill to have

Oh, what a skill to have

So many skills that make her distinctive

But they're not mine to have

No, they're not mine

Whenever she looks I read the nearest paper

Though I don't care about the soaps

No, I don't care about the soaps

Though I'm acting like I'm in an EastEnders episode

If this is a rom-com, kill the director

If this is a rom-com, kill the director

Please

Carrots help us see much better in the dark

Don't talk to girls, they'll break your heart

And this is my head, and this is my spout

They work together, they can't figure anything out

So with the angst of a teenage band

Here's another song about a gender I'll never understand

Here's another song about a gender I'll never understand

If this is a rom-com, kill the director

If this is a rom-com, kill the director

If this is a rom-com, kill the director

Please

...

This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget, Bridget (kill the director)

This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget, Bridget (kill the director)

This is no (kill) Bridget Jones (kill)

This is no Bridget, Bridget (kill the director)

This is no (kill) Bridget Jones (kill)

This is no Bridget, Bridget (double kill the director)

This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget, Bridget (kill the director)

This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget, Bridget (kill the director)

This is no Bridget Jones

This is no Bridget, Bridget Jones
