Your wife's got beautiful skin   Shame it's not round her body no more   It just came away in my hands   As I asked her up to dance   Just cut her out of your scrapbook   If she ever made it in   And if there's any old photos of her   You know where to find the bin      "Can't work it out"   It's what I always say   Adjourn this love into another day   If you bite off more than you can chew   Adjourn this love without a clue      Your wife's got beautiful teeth   Pity they're not in the mouth no more   They just seem to crumble and fall   As I pinned her to the wall   Just rub her out of your diary   Scratch her name off your list   And if you want to see her smiling   Take a good look at this fist      "Can't work it out"   It's what I always say   Adjourn this love into another day   If you bite off more than you can chew   Adjourn this love without a clue      You took this boy   And you showed him insanity   You said he must abide   He showed you beauty   And you showed him vanity   Can't say that I cried      "Can't work it out"   It's what I always say   Adjourn this love into another day   If you bite off more than you can chew   Adjourn this love without a clue
