Mug by Tailormade Lyrics

Getting ready for this first date
Woke up in a right state
But it's my mate's mate or something like that
In fact I wasn't all that keen
But I'm a loyal lad and I didn't wanna mess him about and all that
He's put a good word in on this bird
He's telling me she's perfect
I tell him I'll make the verdict on that one thanks
He's one that thinks it's better to force love through a few drinks
And iron out the kinks later

I turn up and she is everything I've ever looked for
Proper stunning, nice smile
My heart's beating I'm smitten
Suddenly it's me the nervous wreck
Tripping on the step as I'm waiting like some stupid politician

So the lunch date is going great
Start chatting and it turns out that she's got an English degree
A smart girl teaching primary
But she giggles and tells me she isn't all that bright in reality
It's going pretty well so we head for a walk
I've never been on a non booze date before
She's getting to know my true talk
The absolute real me
I'm falling for her honesty
Driving back and I want to plant a little kissy on her cheek
My seatbelt's on and it's quite awkward actually
I want to kiss her and I know that she wants to kiss me
The moment passes, my bravery has failed me
She walks in the house while I'm left on the street

[Chorus]
I should've played my cards right
Now I feel like she's out of my reach
I let out a deep sigh
And i can't find the words I should speak
And I thought that I'd fallen in love
And I thought that I'd fallen in love
Well I guess I'm a mug

We're now entering a little game called text politics
It's all bollocks this 'cause she's the expert and I'm the novice
My mates are telling me to take my fingers off the screen
And there's a reason she hasn't got back to me
Well blatantly
I just wanna know why I've got the blank after such a great date
She's got me in a right state
I'm irate and waiting
It's a bad situation but it can't be quite as bad as the picture I'm painting

It takes a lot to get me feeling this way
So much I'm going through
So much I want to say
There's nothing left it's pretty clear that her decision's made
But I just wish that she could feel this pain
Radio silence
Lioness vs lion
It's science
She's playing the game and I'm not texting in defiance
But if it's a game then I'm in serious trouble
So we go phase 2 to the pub for a couple
Or a couple of doubles
The boys do their bit telling me she's not worth it
That she don't deserve this and that she's far from perfect
Geez you've been too keen she's being an absolute tease
You've put her on a pedestal while you're left on your knees
Maybe it was me coming across a little bit too keen
The guys have a point but I'm still staring at my phone screen
I'm spending all my time just thinking what could be
She'll join the list of girls it will never be

[Chorus]
I should've played my cards right
Now I feel like she's out of my reach
I let out a deep sigh
And I can't find the words i should speak
And i thought that I'd fallen in love
And i thought that I'd fallen
Well i guess I'm a mug
I thought I'd fallen in love
I thought I'd fallen in love
I thought I'd fallen in love
Well I guess I'm a mug
