I sold your clothes and I cancelled your cards
I changed the lock on the house and the car
And didn't I tell you, the diamonds are fake
I must admit, that's the icing on the cake
It wasn't me that got you into this mess
I wanted to try and make it all a success
But now you're hanging on around my neck
Shaking you off with a reality cheque
Shaking you off with a reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
