Is it in your genes? I don't know



Good grief - is it really fifteen years since this four minutes of magnificence was at Number 1?


I absolutely adore it...

Just tell me what you've got to say to me,
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
It comes as no surprise at all you see,
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through.

Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
You don't even know you're being unkind,
So much for all your high brow Marxist ways,
Just use me up and then you walk away.
Boy, you can't play me that way.

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

When I saw my best friend yesterday,
She said she never liked you from the start,
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
But you always knew you held my heart.

And you're such a charming, handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes? I don't know,
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure,
Why did you play me this way?

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you.
I could never be your woman.

I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman.

  2. where was my head at 15 years ago?

    I don't think I've ever heard this …

    Thinking back 15 years ago, I was probably out 5 nights a week and obviously no in venues that played this.

    I'm still shocked that it passed me by completely

  3. It is an eternal favourite of mine - in fact very near to the top of my "all-time fave" lists alongside Bowie, Blondie, Grace Jones, Marc Almond and Kate Bush! Now, that's an accolade... Jx
