    Remember that tanktop you bought me
    You wrote "You're gorgeous" on it
    You took me to your rented motor car
    And filmed me on the bonnet

    You got me to hitch my knees up
    And pulled my legs apart
    You took an instamatic camera
    And pulled my sleeves around my heart

    Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
    Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through

    You said my clothes were sexy
    You tore away my shirt
    You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest
    Snapped me 'til it hurt

    Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
    Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through

    Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
    Bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, haha

    You said I wasn't cheap
    You paid me twenty pounds
    You promised to put me in a magazine
    On every table, in every lounge

    Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
    Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through

    Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
    Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
    Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
    Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
    Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
    Know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
    I know you'll get me, know you'll get me, know you'll get me through

    Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
    Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
    I know you'll get me, know you'll get me, I know you'll get me through Writer/s: Steven Jones

  • Stupid Comment Of The Week Goes To You Wtfbabybird from Telford"wtf babybird" if you don't like the song why are you googling it, listening to it and watching the video. Clearly you love it.
  • Wtfbabybird from UkAwful song, why this became a hit is beyond me, the lyrics are about exploitation by an amateur pornographer, how is that funny?
  • Jamin from Wollongong, AustraliaThe verses are about amateur pornography and exploitation, contrasting the optimistic, cheerful lyrics of the chorus.
