Knock 'em Out lyrics

Song information

Artist: Lily Allen

Lyrics

Alright, so this is a song about anyone, it could be anyone
You're just doing your own thing and someone comes out the blue
They're like
"Alright, what ya sayin? yeah, can I take your digits?"
And you're like, "no, not in a million years, you're nasty
Please leave me alone."

Cut to the pub on a lads night out
Man at the bar 'cos it was his shout
Clocks this bird and she looks ok
She caught him looking and walks his way
"Alright darlin', you gonna buy us a drink then?"
"Err no, but I was thinking about buying one for your friend.."

She's got no taste, hand on his waist, tries to pull away but her lips on his face
"If you insist I'll have a white wine spritzer"
"Sorry love, but you ain't a pretty picture."

Chorus
Can't knock 'em out, you can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say, (sorry yeah, but no)
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have me number, (why?)
'Cause I lost my phone

Oh yeah, actually yeah I'm, I'm pregnant, yeah I'm having a baby in like 6 months so no, yeah, yeah.

I recognise this guy's way of thinking
As he walks over her face starts sinking
She's like
"Oh, here we go.."
It's a routine check that she already knows
She's thinking 'they're all the same.'
"Yeah, you alright, baby? you look alright, still. yeah, what's your name?"

She looks in her bag, takes out a fag
Tries to get away from the guy on a blag
Can't find a light
"Here, use mine"
"See the thing is I just don't have the time."

Chorus
Can't knock 'em out (can't knock 'em out)
You can't walk away (can't walk away)
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say (er, I'm really sorry but not this time)
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
'Cause I lost my phone

Go away now, let me go
Are you stupid? or just a little slow?
Go away now, I've made myself clear
I don't think so
Nah it's not gonna happen
Not in a a million years

Chorus
Can't knock 'em out (can't knock 'em out)
You can't walk away (and you can't walk away)
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say (errrrrr)
Just get out my face, just leave me alone
And no you can't have my number
'Cause I lost my phone

Can't knock 'em out
You can't walk away
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say (er, actually, I'm getting married next week)
Just get out my face, just leave me alone (no, no, seriously)
And no you can't have my number
'Cause I lost my phone

Alright, ah, no mate, I gotta go, my house is on fire!
I've got, I've got herpes! er, no, syphilis! no ive got aids ive got aids
