You think it's going alright
You think it's going fine girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't
I hope you don't mind
Gonna get you come around baby
Want to see you through it
Not makin' any promises maybe
That's only in the movies, movies

Things justa
Don't seema
To be going right

Prospect of reconciliation
Memories of some funny conversation
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon
I can't afford it
Your mother with a bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Your father always thinking me a weirdo
I can't get no satisfaction

[Chorus: x4]
You think it's going alright
You think it's going fine girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't mind
Your mother with a bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon
I can't afford it

[Chorus: x8]
