  1. Tread on my face if you like, little lady

  2. Turn me inside out if you have to, baby

  3. But don't you cross me off your list

  4. I am young and I ain't never been kissed

  5. Never been kissed by a lady called Amy

  6. You're far out, you're fab and insane

  7. A woman of the world, it's quite plain

  8. My dad told me Amy's your name

  9. Said he'd break my neck if I played your game

  10. But he can bust my neck 'cause I, I love you all the same

  11. Amy, I know you don't have to show your affection

  12. 'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection

  13. So if you don't want me around

  14. I think I'll run along and drown

  15. You can't want this bum in town, Amy

  16. Alright

  17. Amy, I know you don't have to show your affection

  18. 'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection

  19. So if you don't want me around

  20. I think I'll run along and drown

  21. You can't want this bum in town, Amy

  22. I'm beaten on the streets 'cause I loves you

  23. I watch you go to work in the summer

  24. I don't whistle at you down the street

  25. I would if I could but I can't whistle, you see

  26. Amy, I may not be James Dean

  27. Amy, I may not be nineteen

  28. And I may still be in romper boots and jeans

  29. But Amy, you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

  30. Amy, I may not be James Dean

  31. Amy, I may not be nineteen

  32. And I may still be in romper boots and jeans

  33. But Amy, you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

  34. Amy, Amy

Amy

Tread on my face if you like, little lady

Turn me inside out if you have to, baby

But don't you cross me off your list

I am young and I ain't never been kissed

Never been kissed by a lady called Amy

You're far out, you're fab and insane

A woman of the world, it's quite plain

My dad told me Amy's your name

Said he'd break my neck if I played your game

But he can bust my neck 'cause I, I love you all the same

Amy, I know you don't have to show your affection

'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection

So if you don't want me around

I think I'll run along and drown

You can't want this bum in town, Amy

Alright

Amy, I know you don't have to show your affection

'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection

So if you don't want me around

I think I'll run along and drown

You can't want this bum in town, Amy

I'm beaten on the streets 'cause I loves you

I watch you go to work in the summer

I don't whistle at you down the street

I would if I could but I can't whistle, you see

Amy, I may not be James Dean

Amy, I may not be nineteen

And I may still be in romper boots and jeans

But Amy, you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

Amy, I may not be James Dean

Amy, I may not be nineteen

And I may still be in romper boots and jeans

But Amy, you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

Amy, Amy
