Sit by my window and look outside 
Wonder why a sun don't shine on me 
What's wrong with you, you stupid child 
Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see 
 
Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch 
Makes her feel everything is secure 
Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor 
 
CHORUS: 
Don't bother with the local girls 
Don't bother with the local girls 
Don't bother with the local girls 
 
She's probably halfwit she must be straight 
Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate 
Don't want to laugh I'd rather knock her down 
Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning 
 
So isolated that she thinks that the army 
Is the place where a man oughta be 
Don't bother with them 
they don't bother me 
 
(CHORUS plus) 
 
Don't bother with the.... local girls 
 
BRIDGE 
They got the walk they got the talk 
Right down without a flaw 
At six oclock I got to stop 
My dreaming at the counter of the store 
Don't bother with them 
 
Without a doubt I gotta intercept 
Must be time someone went shouted in their ear 
You look all right in that cheap green dress 
But every time you swish it round you make me disappear 
 
Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing Making everything a mystery, 
Don't bother with it, 
it don't bother me 
 
(CHORUS 3 times) and fade
