Escrita por Rick Davies, embora creditada à dupla Davies/Hodgson, foi gravada entre novembro de 1976 e janeiro de 1977 e foi lançada em 3 de abril de 1977, no disco Even in the quietest moments, o quinto da banda. Foi produzida pela própria banda. Foi inspirada em um anúncio em revista masculina que mostrava como se pegar mulher. Que se usassem o método, era infalível. Se você não comesse pelo menos cinco mulheres em duas semanas, eles te dariam o dinheiro de volta. Roger Hodgson cantou e tocou guitarra. Rick Davies cantou e tocou piano e sintetizadores. Dougie Thomson tocou baixo. John Helliwell tocou sax e Bob Siebenberg tocou bateria e percussão.
A letra:
I'll
tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't
stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy
He's gonna tell you lies
But you
won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't
stop the lover boy
He's got a thing in his head
It's
from a book he's read
It's got a funny title
It tells you how
to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every
line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy
He's gonna knock 'em dead
(He treats
'em like a toy)
The boy got that book read
You can't stop the
lover boy (the lover boy'll never)
You can't stop the lover boy
(the lover boy'll never)
Right from the clothes he wears
The
way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now
Because he knows
all the tricks
He used to have a problem
But he got it fixed
(got it fixed)
He took a small apartment
Above a
shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights
in the street glow
And there's a club on the corner
And
tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies
beware
Na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na
na, na na
Na na, na na
Na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na
na, na na
He's got to have a good time in the
city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love
'em and leave 'em
And cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
He's got to have a good time in the
city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love
'em and leave 'em
And cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
He's got to have a good time in the
city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love
'em and leave 'em
And cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right
Na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na
na
Na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na, na
na, na na
