Verse 1<\/p>\n
There\u2019s this guy who I\u2019ve known since I was fifteen
\nAnd ever since then he\u2019s always hung around with me
\nBut even though we, don\u2019t really have that much in common
\nNo matter what I do I can\u2019t seem to get rid of him
\nYou see the problem is this dude is a bad influence
\nComing up with crazy schemes and talking me into em
\nLeaving me to catch the blame, while he runs free
\nWhat\u2019s his name I hear you ask – well, it\u2019s drunk me.
\nWhenever he\u2019s not around I\u2019m a responsible guy
\nKind-hearted, mild mannered and I\u2019m always polite
\nBut whenever we get together something happens inside
\nAnd I change from Dr Jekyll into Mr Hyde
\nHe makes me crack jokes that are rude and offensive
\nBut doesn\u2019t stick around to deal with the consequences
\nAnd by the time the morning comes, he\u2019s always disappeared
\nLeaving me with nothing but a banging headache and The Fear<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
There\u2019s this guy that I know, and everywhere he goes
\nEvery place and every time he follows me
\nNo matter what I try, to get rid of this guy
\nHe just stays in his place and he won\u2019t leave<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
He\u2019s always landing me in these sticky situations
\nAnd leaving me to come up with an explanation
\nLike – \u201cLook, theres bin a misunderstanding lads\u2026
\nI was calling you all \u2018gents\u2019 out the back of the cab!\u201d
\nI swear sometimes it\u2019s like I\u2019ve got an evil twin
\nI go to clubs and they won\u2019t even let me in
\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t me Mr Bouncer, you\u2019ve got to believe me
\nWhat do you mean you\u2019ve got footage on the CCTV?\u201d
\nHe\u2019s the worst wingman I\u2019ve ever met in my life
\nHe\u2019s always giving me false confidence and telling me lies
\nFeeding me lines that he swears are a dead cert
\nThat only serve to leave me with a wet shirt
\nHe makes me chat to girls that I don\u2019t even fancy
\nTil eventually I find one to take home in a taxi
\nBut I guess she\u2019s got a bad friend just like me
\nCoz by the time I wake up, she\u2019s nowhere to be seen<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
There\u2019s this guy that I know, and everywhere he goes
\nEvery place and every time he follows me
\nNo matter what I try, to get rid of this guy
\nHe just stays in his place and he won\u2019t leave<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
I\u2019d have thought by my 30\u2019s that I\u2019d no longer know him
\nNow I\u2019m going to dinner parties that my friends are throwing
\nBut the moment I have one or two glasses of wine
\nGuess which uninvited house guest arrives
\nRight, in the middle – of a – political debate
\nHe humiliates me in front of my civilised mates
\nHe\u2019s got me laughing like madman and slapping my knees
\n– Until I pass out face down in my peas
\nYou\u2019re probably wondering why I still hang around with this jerk
\nI\u2019ve tried to cut him off before but nothing seems to work
\nI even replaced him with Stoned Me at one point
\nBut that boy is just too damn paranoid
\nSo even though he\u2019s obnoxious, loud and abrasive
\nAnd endangers my safety on a regular basis
\nWhilst I hate to admit it and it fills me with shame
\n– A night out without him just isn\u2019t the same<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
There\u2019s this guy that I know, and everywhere he goes
\nEvery place and every time he follows me
\nNo matter what I try, to get rid of this guy
\nHe just stays in his place and he won\u2019t leave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
