Lyrics

Broccoli

Everything was goin just the way i planned the broccoli was done, She doesnt know that im a virgin in the kitchen cos its normally my mum,

But then she called me and thats when she said to me she wasnt coming round for tea

I should have known much better But its so hard i cant forget her But she keeps playin me around But im trying so hard to impress her She puts me under so much pressure And i just wanted her to let me know she cares

Blowing out the candles now and thats the way she treats me im a fool and everyone will tease me now the rumours start to spread around the school (yer yer) They say that im a loser that girls so cruel But i keep feeding her the fuel

I should have known much better But its so hard i cant forget her but she keeps playin me around but im trying so hard to impress her She puts me under so much pressure And i just wanted her to let me know she cares

i know she cares, i know she cares, she cares she cares she cares she cares! she cares, she cares!

I should have known much better But its so hard i cant forget her But she keeps playin me around But im trying so hard to impress her She puts me under so much pressure And i just wanted her to let me know...

I should have known much better But its so hard i can forget her But she keeps playin me around But im trying so hard to impress her She puts me under so much pressure And i just wanted her to let me know she cares
