IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM by JOE JACKSON

VERSE

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I’m staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there! (where? )
There’s a lady that I used to know
She’s married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

CHORUS

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
’cause if my eyes don’t deceive me,
There’s something going wrong around here

VERSE

Tonight’s the night when I go to all the parties down my street.
I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
Look over there! (where? )
Here comes jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don’t count for much
If so, there goes your proof

CHORUS

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
’cause if my eyes don’t deceive me,
There’s something going wrong around here
around here

BRIDGE

But if looks could kill
There’s a man there who’s more down as dead.
Cause I’ve had my fill
Listen you, take your hands off her head
I get so mean around this scene

CHORUS

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
’cause if my eyes don’t deceive me
There’s something going wrong around here
