(Kirsty MacColl/Mark E.Nevin)
When I was just a child
My folks would drive me wild
They'd spy upon my every move
Until it drove me to despair
They told me what to wear
They told me not to cut my hair
But that's all over now
I had to tell them anyhow
It's my affair
Where I go and what I do
It's my affair oh yeah
It's my affair
It's up to me and not to you
It's my affair
That's the way I want to keep it
I kissed the boy in secret
Thrilled me to the very core
I couldn't stop I wanted more and
I didn't hear the door and
They caught me on the floor
With my affair
And when we first got wed
We used to stay in bed
All day and night all night and day
We bedded half our lives away
But that's all over now
We move in higher circles
Chomping through the upper crust
I couldn't see you for the dust
And then you met that girl
Who left you with your money spent
And now it's no concern of yours
If I sleep with the President
It's my affair
And if I don't come home tonight
It's my affair alright
It's my affair
Who I see is up to me
It's my affair
That's how I want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Hiding in the parking lot
Is just as far as I have got but
If the phone should ring and
There's no one there
Then it's my affair
Eso es asunto de ella
Donde va y lo que hace
Well it's all over now
You've seen the last of me
And I don't have to put up with you
Giving me the third degree
So you go on your way
And don't come sneaking round the back door
Trying to get yourself back in
Where you're not wanted anymore
It's my affair
Shoodoloowapbob
Shoodolowap
It's my affair oh yeah
It's my affair
Who I see is up to me
It's my affair
That's how I want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Making eyes at perfect strangers
I know that it could be dangerous
So if the phone should ring and
There'sthere ain't no use in me trying to tell you how I feel
'cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong
I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
there ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've been
where you've been ain't where I'm going
'cause if I ask you where you've been
the hurting starts and it don't end
so I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no o
(bridge)
tears don't become me
pain ain't my friend
it seems like you enjoy my crying , baby
you always said that I was strong
but I believe that you were wrong
lately , God knows , I have been trying
there ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt , baby
'cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's hiding
if you decide you're coming home
you walk in , it won't be like before
'cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no
