I Don't Trust Men with Earrings In Their Ears - Gilbert O'Sullivan

If you don’t mind me saying so then why do you object

Are you frightened of something you’ll hear

Have you no inhibitions are you basically shy

And not what you appear

Got a good mind to tell you what a bad boy I’ve been

But I’m not sure you’ll be all that pleased

Funny how being unfaithful often makes us realise

How foolish we can be

Here’s to the child who applied for a divorce

Said his parents were not up to much

Once upon a time used to be children

Now there are just adults

And I don’t trust men with earrings in their ears

Or women who look like they’re men

I trust only those who are true to themselves

And god knows there aren’t too

Many of them

In a manner of speaking reminiscent of greek

You could say «hold my heart» and I will

If it pleases you no doubt I’ll gladly oblige

It would be a thrill

You ask for directions you say it’s a road

With houses on either side

Well I don’t want to shatter your illusions

But I’m afraid that I’m gonna have to try

And I don’t trust men with earrings in their ears

Or women who look like they’re men

I trust only those who are true to themselves

And god knows there aren’t too

Many of them

Here’s to the child who applied for a divorce

Said his parents were driving him nuts

Once upon a time used to be children

Now there are just adults

And I don’t trust men with earrings in their ears

Or women who look like they’re men

I trust only those who are true to themselves

And god knows there aren’t too

Many of them
