It started on a weekend in May
I was looking for attention
Needed intervention
Felt somebody looking at me
With a powder white complexion
Feeling the connection

The way she looked was so ridiculous
Every single step
Had me waiting for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me out the bar
To the backseat of a car

When the lights go out
She's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair

My English love affair

Next thing we were back at her place
A hideaway in Mayfair
All the great and good there
Drinking all the way to third base
Princess getting naked
Falling on their faces

The story line was so ridiculous
Every single step had me begging for the next
Before I knew it, it was serious
Dragged me up the stairs
And it wasn't ending there

When the lights go out
She's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair

When I got out
I knew that nobody I knew would be believing me
I look back now
And know that nobody could ever take the memory

When the lights go out
She's all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can't forget my English love affair
Today, I'm seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can't forget my English love affair

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
My English love affair (x2)
