You're upstairs with the boyfriend while i'm left her to listen

i hear you calling his name, i hear teh stutter of ignition

i could hear you whispering as i crept by your door

so you found some other joker who would please you more



i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

ooh i know what you're doin'

i know where you've been

i know where but i don't don't care

cos there's no such thing as an original sin



i've got this camera click, click, clicking in my head

i got you talking with you hands, smiling with your legs

spent all my time working in a vanity factory

wonderin' when they're gonna come to take it all back



i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

ooh i know what you're doin'

i know where you've been

i know where but i don't don't care

cos there's no such thing as an original sin



You're upstairs with the boyfriend while i'm left her to listen

i hear you calling his name, i hear teh stutter of ignition

i could hear you whispering as i crept by your door

so you found some other joker who would please you more



i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

i'm not angry

i'm not angry anymore

ooh i know what you're doin'

i know where you've been

i know where but i don't don't care
