You got, you got, you know what 
You got, you got, you know what, 
How long can freedom last, when you got bird trouble and your sinking fast 
Well I heard you told her that you loved her 
And you whisper sweet nothings in her ear 
And I heard you're planning a wedding 
With vol-au-vents, speeches and beer 
Don't you know you're under the thumb, boy 
You're acting like a lovesick slob 
Don't you care you'll lose all your mates 
For a wife, mortgage and a job 
And it's obvious to everyone but you 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
How long can freedom last, 
When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast 
She tells you what to do and where to go 
She tells you what to say and what to wear 
And when we're on boys' night out 
You're gone for hours on the phone to her 
It's embarrassing to see you crawl 
When you used to be the number one 
FACE I'm telling you this as a friend 
You've turned into a basket case 
And it's obvious to everyone but you 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
How long can freedom last, 
When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast 
You're much to young for this 
Cause youth disappears too soon 
Is it a rumor that the baby’s due in 
June And it's obvious to everyone but you 
You'll be working every hour of the day 
Every day of the week of the year 
And if we ever go out (which won't be often) 
It'll be me that's always buying the beers 
She'll be gone round her mother's house for hours 
Or talking to her mates on the phone 
You'll be the one who's left at home with the baby 
Wondering where it all went wrong 
And it's obvious to everyone but you 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble 
How long can freedom last, 
When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast [3x]
