Take Her Back Lyrics
he's not sure what he should do
shes 17, he's 22
is that too much of a difference?
so instead look what he's done
he's found a girl who's 31
is that too much of a difference?
she's got everything he wants
she's got everything he needs
(take her back, take her back, etc etc, to her place)
she's got everything he wants
she's got everything he needs
(take her back, take her back, etc etc, to her place)
she's got a mate who says behave
you're not too bad but twice her age
does that really make any difference?
he's had a few, we've all been there
just 17 but he don't care
i don't think he knows the difference
cos she's got everything he wants
she's got everything he needs
(take her back.....)
his mates found out, he feels a fool
they saw her on the bus to school
should that really make any difference?
what would her dad say if he knew
she's on her knees, he's 22
i don't think he'd like the difference
does that really make any difference?
cos she's got everything he wants
she's got everything he needs
(take her back.....)
shes 17, he's 22
is that too much of a difference?
he's found a girl who's 31
is that too much of a difference?
she's got everything he needs
(take her back, take her back, etc etc, to her place)
she's got everything he needs
(take her back, take her back, etc etc, to her place)
you're not too bad but twice her age
does that really make any difference?
just 17 but he don't care
i don't think he knows the difference
she's got everything he needs
(take her back.....)
they saw her on the bus to school
should that really make any difference?
she's on her knees, he's 22
i don't think he'd like the difference
does that really make any difference?
she's got everything he needs
(take her back.....)

this song is SO AWSUM man do the pigis rock
This song is a great snap-shot about relationships. I think it is how you'd make excuses about people, ie. Age.
Love the line... 'what would her dad say if he knew she's on her knees, he's 22' GENIUS!
biggd21 - check out, Little Man Tate, the View, the Zutons and the Kooks. No doubt heard of the last two.
It's all about how girls dress up to look older than they actually are.
This boy thought this girl was 31 then found out she's 17, hense why he's in denial and trying to convince himself it's alright.
As for the guy asking about English Bands.. Bloc Party, Maximo Park, The View, The Kooks, Keane, The Libertines/Babyshambles.. to name but a few.
"This boy thought this girl was 31 then found out she's 17, "
"This boy thought this girl was 31 then found out she's 17, "
no girl who is 17 will ever look like 31 ...
no girl who is 17 will ever look like 31 ...
I'm pretty sure it two different girls and he knows she's 17 cause he's not sure what he should do, if he didn't know she was 17 he wouldn't be confused, then its says he found a girl who's 31, which implies it is someone else as others he wouldn't need to look

this song is kick ass. i dont know how i find out about these little english bands. i loved the arctic monkeys before anybody in the U.S. even heard about em... i live in indiana, U.S. u guys got any other sweet bands that have similar sounds over there?
kasabian,the kooks, dirty pretty things, the libertines(even tho they broke up), babyshambles, the fratellis (even tho their scotish) =D seen as you wrote this in 2007 you might never see this, but i got excited and had to write!

wow a song about me!... if you add at least 5 years onto the bloke.
Yh this song is brilliant, a nice angle on a relationship, age differences haven't come up for a bit in the uk. The woman who's 31, is this a suggestion that he's cheated on the 17 yr old (why would you do that!?*) with the 31 yr old, or is he pretending to his mates he's seeing a 31 yr old, or has someone tried to set him up with her...? I could go on.
A song about me too, I lied about my age though. It's really uncomfortable now.
:) awesome song. pigeon detectives are mint.
