Everyone wanted a piece of her pie
But I turned out to be the lucky guy
I was hanging around not thinking too much
I accidentally ran into the warmth of her touch

That's when the sparks flew
And that's when I knew
Just what to do

I got out of there
Don't want to play those cards again
You know I used to be the romantic fool
Acting so cool
I was the chairman of the heartbreaker's club
Until my baby went and left me, and stole all my capacity for love

On my way home from that very close call
I was rattling keys as I walked down the hall
When a familiar voice sort of echoed about
It was my next door neighbour and she locked herself out
That's when the sparks flew
And that's when I knew
Just what to do

Chorus

I was removing my jacket when the telephone rang
It was an old ex-girlfriend and she wanted to hang
She said, "If you come over here we'll do what you please
Including the thing where I get down on my knees"
That's when the sparks flew
And that's when I knew
Just what to do

I got outta there
Just had to play those cards again
You know I'll always be the romantic fool
Acting so cool
I am the chairman of the heartbreaker's club
She was that member of her gender that stole all my capacity for love
