I Don't Trust Men With Earrings in Their Ears Songtext
von 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?
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

And 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

Well, 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
Many of them, oh-oh, oh-oh


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
But don't ask me how, why, or when

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
Many of them, oh-oh, oh-oh

I don't trust men-
