Have you ever had a fancy lover? 
Gone crazy trying to keep up with her 
It's like you're standing in the darkness 
In the theatre up the back 
Joining her ovation 
When you wish you could distract her take her home 

You had to try 
Don't some great loves start with someone aiming so 
high? 

Have you ever had a fancy lover? 
Thrown everything that you've got at her 
She's the winter that's so bitter you'll cut wood all 
summer long 
She's two long years of thinking going into one old 
song and that aint good 

You were doing fine 
You knew your chances and your place in the line 

Fancy lovers they need fancy lovers of their own 
You'll camouflage your soul for them 
Where do they get to meet their own kind of people? 
Is there a light on the steeple that only fancy people 
see? 

When you try and keep a fancy lover 
You force her hand and then discover 
She wouldn't look so perfect if it was just for you 
Is there a guy over your shoulder that she may have 
noticed too? 
You'll never know 

You had to be in 
You bet on hearts boy even when you won't win 

And then she'll take the field against you 
Fighting above your weight and your height 
One hundred ways to hit the canvas 
A thousand days to beat the count
