Not supposed to want nobody
Not supposed to need nobody (nobody, nobody cares)
You?re not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Don't you dare go love nobody


VERSE:
Ooh I miss the real exciters
Anything with anyone
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs, ooh yeah
Lining up for fast one-nighters
When the final show was done
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs
No one cares, no, no


CHORUS:
Not supposed to want nobody
Not supposed to need nobody (nobody, nobody cares)
Not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Don't you dare go love nobody


SOLO


CHORUS:
You?re not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Not supposed to love nobody
Fine state, state of affairs
Fine state, state of affairs
Fine state, state of affairs....
