[Verse 1]
Some girls lose their boys after years
Some lose them right at the start
Standing in line, it's a question of time
Who's gonna be the next broken heart?

Well, my heart belonged to a love so strong
I would love him ‘til the day that I die
But I didn't lose my love to the Lord above
I lost him to a D.I.Y

[Chorus 1]
D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you're idle in love they can steal from the very first dance
Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I

But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus
‘Cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

[Verse 2]
Some women feel if you put her on a seal
It will keep your fella out of reach
But it ain't always so if you can grab them from below
That's a lesson every woman can teach
But my man was just the sort you could trust
You could look a fella right in the eye
Well he wasn't for deceiving
But suddenly he was leaving ‘cause I lost him to a D.I.Y

[Chorus 1]
D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you're idle in love they can steal from the very first dance
Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I

But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus
‘Cause we lost him to a D.I.Y

[Bridge]
L–A–D–I–E–S
Come on, girls, if she's wearing a dress
T–H–I–E and F
She got high heels and she couldn't care less

W–O–M–E–N
Come on, girls, it'll happen again
H–I–S–T–O–R–Y
Come on, folks, just an ordinary guy

[Chorus 2]
D – she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
I – if you're idle in love they can steal from the very first dance
Y, Y, Y – she was young and pretty and young and pretty is better than I
But we gave them all our kisses
Now they found another missus
‘Cause we lost him to a D.I.Y
