I heard the word goin' 'round town   They say that you're makin' a fool out of me   Baby it took me some time to come around   To realise you were not what you seemed   Each day's passin', the clock's been my friend   Help me get back on my feet again      Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction   You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt   Your just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you   I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve      I was down, down, down, I was down      I'm not the first and I won't be the last   To make the mistake of believin' in you   I don't intend to live in the past   Just like they say, some you win, some you lose   You never loved me and you made it plain   Now it's my turn and I'm playin' your game      Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction   You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt   You're just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you   I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve      Love and affection - you started   Changing direction - you threw it away-ay (down, down, down)   Girl you threw it away (down, down, down)      You never loved me and you made it plain   Now it's my turn to make you understand      Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction   You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt   You're just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you   I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve      Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction   You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt   You're just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you   I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve      Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction   You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt   You're just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
