My Guy
Tracey Ullman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing you can say,
Can take me away,
From my guy.
Nothing you could do,
'cause I'm stuck like glue,
To my guy.
I'm sticking to my guy,
Like a stamp to a letter,
Like birds of a feather,
We, stick together,
I can tell you from the start,
I can't be torn apart from my guy.

Nothing you could do,
Could make me be untrue,
To my guy.
(My Guy)
Nothing you could buy,
Could make me tell a lie,
To my guy
(My Guy)
I gave my guy,
My word of honour,
To be faithful,
And I'm gonna,
You'd better be believing,
I won't be deceiving,
My guy.

As a matter of opinion,
I think he's tops,
My opinion is,
He's the cream of the crop,
As a matter of taste,
To be exact,
He's my ideal,
As a matter of fact.

No muscle bound man,
Could take my hand,
From my guy.
(My guy)
No handsome face,
Could ever take the place,
Of my guy,
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star,
But when it comes to being happy,
We are,
There's not a man today,




Who can take me away,
From my guy.

Yes! That really is 80s labour leader Neil Kinnock

@stevedavis6879

Take me back to that era please .

@ajs41

Funny thing is I can remember it well even though I was only 5 years old. 1983/84 had a very distinctive atmosphere.

@rogerhuggettjr.7675

This is awesome, but I still here Madness singing it in my head with all the emotion they put in it.

@rrrrickashayk9539
