  • She's a perfect ten, but she wears a twelve
    Baby, keep a little two for me
    She could be sweet sixteen, bustin' out at the seams
    It's still love in the first degree

    When he's at my gate, with a big fat eight
    You wanna see the smile on my face
    And even at my door, with a poor poor four
    There ain't no man can replace

    'Cause we love our love in different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    If he's extra large, well I'm in charge
    I can work this thing on top
    If he's XXL, well what the hell
    Every penny don't fit the slot

    Ah, the anorexic chicks, the model six
    They don't hold no weight with me
    Well, eight or nine, well that's just fine
    But I like to hold something I can see

    'Cause we love our love in different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    I've bought a watch to time your beauty
    But I've had to fit a second hand

    I've bought a calendar, and every month
    Is taken up by lover man

    'Cause we love our love in different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    'Cause we love our love in different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight Writer/s: Dave Rotheray, Paul Heaton
