[Verse 1] Blue silk folded by the window You said, "Wear this, they'll be kind" Told me how to hold my shoulders What to say and when to smile Booked a car for nine on Friday Put my name down next to yours You do all of this out of loving Still don't ask what I came for You say I'm making life difficult I say, "Difficult for who?" Every time I find my footing You got somewhere else I should move [Pre-Chorus] Every time I say, "Not tonight" You hear, "Convince me" Baby, listen Listen properly [Chorus] That girl don't live here No, she don't live here You keep knocking for somebody That I never learned to be And I love you, I do But I won't disappear Just to make you feel at home That girl don't live here [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, no Mm-mm, no Don't leave her clothes on my chair That girl don't live here [Verse 2] Sunday lunch, I wore my own shirt Nobody mentioned it at first Then you said, "The blue was prettier" I said, "I know, that's not the point" You laughed and passed the pepper I passed the bowl, we ate in peace See, we can sit at the same table You don't have to choose for me I've been good at keeping quiet Making room where I don't fit But you know the funny thing is You still love me when I don't give in [Pre-Chorus] Every time I say, "Not tonight" You hear, "Convince me" Oh, baby, listen Listen properly [Chorus] That girl don't live here No, she don't live here You keep knocking for somebody That I never learned to be And I love you, I do But I won't disappear Just to make you feel at home That girl don't live here [Bridge] I know you worry I know you care I know the world is not so gentle When you don't play fair But I'm not running I'm standing right here You can hold my hand, baby Just don't steer Don't steer... Mm, don't steer [Final Chorus] That girl don't live here No, she don't live here You keep knocking for somebody That I never learned to be Oh, I love you, I do But I won't disappear You can love me how I am Or keep waiting for her here That girl don't live here No, she don't live here [Extended Outro] (Who you waiting for?) Not me, not me (Who you calling now?) Not me, not me (Who you dressing up?) Not me, not me I told you, baby She's not me (Who you waiting for?) Not me, not me (Who you calling now?) Not me, not me Leave that dress right there Leave it, leave it there Mm-mm, no Mm-mm, no I like the blue, though... (Heh) [Outro: Soft hummed harmonies, piano and percussion fading naturally]
