"Shout Shout" lyrics - THE PROCLAIMERS

Correct me if you think that I'm mistaken
I wouldn't want to overstate my case
But while I'm the one bringing home the bacon
I've got a right to be heard around this place

You seem to think that life dealt you a bad deal
On the day we both pronounced the words "I do"
You yell at me for hours about what bugs you
Well that's a waste of time 'cos I can do that too

Shout shout don't leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You won't change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still won't care
You don't move me an inch when you do that

I'm trying my best to be your husband
And a father to our little baby girl
And I'd rather rely on my own judgement
Than the vagaries and fashions of this world

If you wanted a doctor or a lawyer
You should have married one of them instead of me
Or some other guy who would ignore you
When he'd make a point and you would disagree

Shout shout don't leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You won't change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still won't care
You don't move me an inch when doing that

And now I'll make my confessing
I love to row as much as you
But while it might be fun, in the long run
It's not going to change a thing we do

Again I make my confession
I love to row as much a you
But while it might be fun, in the long run
It's not going to change a thing we do

Shout shout don't leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You won't change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still won't care
You don't move me an inch when you do that

Shout shout don't leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You won't change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still won't care
You don't move me an inch when you do that
