This town belongs to you and your tricks of confidence
 All the pavements for miles around are littered with your footprints
 Now every girl I get close to seems to be wearing your perfume
 And the clock strikes the letters of your name
 Both midnight and noon

 But I used to shoot my mouth off
 Till you’d had enough of me
 Once or twice nightly
 I know I’ve got my faults
 And among them I can’t control my tongue
 But if you didn’t believe me
 Why did you have to leave me
 With my mouth almighty

 Mouth almighty that’s what I’ve got
 Mouth almighty telling you what’s what
 Mouth almighty
 I wish I’d never opened my mouth almighty

 So I threw away the rose and held onto the thorn
 Crawling round with my crooner cufflinks and my calling card cologne
 But the realization of being replaced starts to tell tales across my face
 Without a soul to talk to or a hair out of place
