About Who's David

"Who's David" is a song by British pop punk band Busted. It was released on 16 February 2004 as the second single from their second studio album, A Present for Everyone. It was co-written by Tom Fletcher, one of the lead vocalists and guitarists from the band McFly. The single features the live version of "Teenage Kicks", which the band performed at the 2004 Brit Awards ceremony. In response to being frequently asked "who is David?", Willis claimed that David is the name of his facial mole. The song was written about experiences with a girl who is unfaithful. The single peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's third number-one single, and their second consecutive. In 2004, "Who's David" came 20th in a VH1 viewer survey of the worst number one singles of all time.

You've always been this way since high school
Flirtatious and quite loud
Find your sense of humour spiteful
It shudnt make you proud
And I know your pretty face
Gets far wiv guys
But you make up ain't
Enough to hide the lies

Are you sure that you're mine
aren't you datin other guys
'cause your so cheap
And I'm not blind
Your not worthy of my time
Somebody saw you sleep around the town
And I've got proof
Because the words going around

you left you're fone so i invaded 
I hated what a sore
Your stupid lying bitch 
who's David?
Some guy who lives next door
So go live in the house of David if you like
But be sure he don't know Peter John or Mike?

Are you sure that you're mine
aren't you datin other guys
'cause your so cheap
And I'm not blind
Your not worthy of my time
Somebody saw you sleep around the town
And I've got proof
Because the words going around

And I know
That you try
To break me into pieces
I know what you're like
But you can't hurt me now
I'm over you
oo ooo ooo
I don't like you

Are you sure that you're mine
aren't you datin other guys
'cause your so cheap
And I'm not blind
Your not worthy of my time
Somebody saw you sleep around the town
And I've got proof
Because the words going around

don't like you 
don't know you
