Calls up her baby on a Saturday night

She says “hey baby I’m not feeling alright 

I’ve got a headache that’s banging round my brain like a drum

So if we go out you won’t get much fun”

She calls her friend Julie she says “I told him

I’m not going out, I’m just staying in!

I got BBC4, I got ITV3

I got UK Gold and Sky Movies

I got broadband connection, superfast

I can download songs and photographs

I can email boys the other side of the world

I don’t need to go out cos I’m a stay-in girl!”

So Julie comes round with four cans of beer

By half-past ten they’ve disappeared

So a man in a van knocks on the door

With curry and chips and ten bottles more

 

I don’t wanna be with you on a Saturday night

I don’t wanna be out in your car

I don’t wanna be dancing in your silly clubs

Baby I don’t wanna go that far

I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what you do, baby you can scream and shout

I’m staying in, you can go out

I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what you do , baby you can scream and shout

I’m staying in, you can go out

 

Now we’ve been going steady for a long long time

I know your parents and they know mine

But every time I see you it’s just becoming clear

I don’t wanna be with you in a million years

I don’t wanna dance to the silly songs you play

I don’t wanna go out with you every bloody day

I don’t wanna laugh, I don’t wanna sing

I just wanna be on my own, staying in

 

So come on baby you know that it’s true

We’ve got better things to do 

You don’t love me, and I don’t love you

So come on baby let’s call it a day

Take all those silly indie records away

I don’t ever wanna see you again

You can go out, I’m staying in

 

I don’t wanna be with you on a Saturday night

I don’t wanna be out in your car

I don’t wanna be dancing in your silly clubs

Baby I don’t wanna go that far

I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what you do, baby you can scream and shout

I’m staying in, you can go out

I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what you do , baby you can scream and shout

I’m staying in, you can go out
