"IOU's" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

[Intro:]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I've seen him flop this show before
Thinking there's a quick fix for a bachelor's lonely score
Relax, it's not conscript to war
You're so desperate, you should wear those flashing devil horns
Just 'cause she came here alone
Doesn't mean she's not got the baggage of a long-haul flight
Just 'cause you're dancing slow
Doesn't mean you're not hanging by a thread of spit tonight

[Chorus:]
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered

Well done, you jumped in the shallow end
And when your blood rises up, she'll chuck you in again
It's holiday time, she's home with Mum and friends
Though you're three months in
You can't shake those jealous breaking ends
That paranoid pulse that beats your head
Well, you know that there's a reason why it beats there
Though she says she loves you on the phone
You know she's fucking like a vampire in her parents' home

[Chorus:]
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Just 'cause she came here alone
Doesn't mean she's not got the baggage of a long haul flight
It seems you learn your lesson slow
And that's how you get knocked out
Without knowing that you're in a fight

[Chorus:]
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered
This is not an IOU, this is not an IOU
Don't let her invoice for services rendered
