  • Hey, hang your red gloves up
    'Cause there's nothing left to prove now
    Hey, hang your red gloves up baby
    No-one cares but you

    What planet are you from?
    Accuse me of things that I never done
    Listen to you carrying on
    Cheating another love song

    If I were in your shoes
    I'd whisper before I shout
    Can't you stop playing that record again
    Find somebody else to talk about
    If I were in your shoes
    I'd worry of the effects
    You've had your say but now its my turn
    Sweet dreams my LA ex

    We've had it on full steam
    'Til the light comes back to you now
    Hey, is it all it seems, is it
    All you dreamed and more?

    What planet are you from?
    Accuse me of things that I never done
    Listen to you carrying on
    Cheating another love song

    If I were in your shoes
    I'd whisper before I shout
    Can't you stop playing that record again
    Find somebody else to talk about
    If I were in your shoes
    I'd worry of the effects
    You've had your say but now its my turn
    Sweet dreams my LA ex

    Does it make you feel a man
    Pointing the finger because you can
    I spell it loud and clear
    Baby that tongue's not welcome around here

    You turn the city round (L.A.X.)
    D'you think I give a damn (L.A.X.)
    D'you think that I'm the fairer (S-E-X)
    Sweet dreams, my LA ex

    If I were in your shoes
    I'd whisper before I shout
    Can't you stop playing that record again
    Find somebody else to talk about (to talk about)
    If I were in your shoes (hey yeah yeah)
    I'd worry of the effects
    You've had your say but now its my turn
