LYRICS

Why'd you never listen to me?
I could be invisible to you
Anyway it doesn't matter now
'Cos I have met somebody new
Sorry if your heart is broken
Why's your mouth just hanging open?
Don't look so surprised
I found another guy

Terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
That boy Terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as Marlon Brando

Now he's waiting for me
I just had to break the news to you
You'd better hide your face a while
If he gets mad there's no telling what he'll do

You can see the door is open
So if you don't want your nose broken
You had better go away
'Cos Terry's coming round today

Terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
(Terry said he'll never let me go)
That boy Terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as Marlon Brando

He's been making eyes at me
It started long ago
So when he said he loved me
I just had to say "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know"

You thought you were such a smartie
But Terry knows about karate
There's other things he's good at too
Terry's not a bit like you

And Terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
(Terry said he'll never let me go)
That boy Terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as Marlon Brando
