My girl's mad at me,
I didn't wanna see the film tonight.
I found it hard to say,
She thought I'd had enough of her.
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in and watch TV
On my own, every now and then.
My girl's mad at me,
Been on the telephone for an hour.
We hardly said a word,
I tried and tried but I could not be heard.
Why can't I explain?
Why do I feel this pain?
'Cause everything I say, she doesn't understand,
She doesn't realise, she takes it all the wrong way.
My girl's mad at me,
We argued just the other night.
I thought we'd got it straight.
We talked and talked until it was light.
I thought we'd agree,
I thought we'd talked it out.
Now when I try to speak she says that I don't care,
She says I'm unaware and now she says I'm weak.

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
haha. I really think this song is great.
I used to think this was quite a jokey song in my younger years - suggsy's delivery probably. But now I can't hear the line about staying in and watching t.v. without thinking about Mike Barson's depression.
Piano!!
im only 17 but i love madness there class and i totaly relate to this song its class and all there songs
Link 80 does a great cover of this, btw.. I love Madness and didn't even realize it was a Madness song at first =P
Written straight out of real life, apparently.
Madness! Yay. Nice song.
In my dreams me and Bedders watch TV on our own and then have a fuck on the settee. Hey I'm a -female- bankrobber don't get it wrong.
