I Don't Trust Men With Earrings In Their Ears Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

If you don't mind me saying so then why do you object 

are you frightened of something you'll hear 

have you no inhibitions are you basically shy 

and not what you appear 

got a good mind to tell you what a bad boy I've been 

but I'm not sure you'll be all that pleased 

funny how being unfaithful often makes us realise 

how foolish we can be 

here's to the child who applied for a divorce 

said his parents were not up to much 

once upon a time used to be children 

now there are just adults 

And I don't trust men with earrings in their ears 

or women who look like they're men 

I trust only those who are true to themselves 

and god knows there aren't too 

many of them 

In a manner of speaking reminiscent of greek 

you could say "hold my heart" and I will 

if it pleases you no doubt I'll gladly oblige 

it would be a thrill 

you ask for directions you say it's a road 

with houses on either side 

well I don't want to shatter your illusions 

but I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to try 

And I don't trust men with earrings in their ears 

or women who look like they're men 

I trust only those who are true to themselves 

and god knows there aren't too 

many of them 

Here's to the child who applied for a divorce 

said his parents were driving him nuts 

once upon a time used to be children 

now there are just adults 

And I don't trust men with earrings in their ears 

or women who look like they're men 

I trust only those who are true to themselves 

and god knows there aren't too 

many of them
