lyrics

I bought a Greenpeace badge, it said the only thing you should leave on a beach is a your footprints.
Well, baby, love's a beach and my feet wanna leave with you.

I gave some savings to save some whales even though they're too dumb to think to save (D)them(A)selves -
They need to breathe air, but they live under the water.
But I only cared because you said did,
And I only went to the protest to link hearts with you.

But here's a secret, if you wanna know the truth:
I was just green-flirting with you.

I put on lycra and took up cy/cl/ing
Because you were into recycling.

And while you were there/ talking about saving the planet, and shit.
I was lost, just staring at your hips.

But I don't care that much about/ the planet.
I just/ want to/ love you.
And when you asked what I thought about oil and I said I can't stand it.
I was just green-flirting with you.

I was just green-flirting, I was just green-flirting, I was just green-flirting,
with you... x2

I looked into your green eyes
and told you little white lies
because I...
liked you
But it's time to come clean about my dirty history
because I...
Like you.

So
Lay down your rainforest
Let your polar caps evaporate.
Let me drill for oil in your sweet sea bed
Let me see your climate change.
Let's save water and the world and shower together
We can be so dirty being clean.

I was just green-flirting
Cos I wanna do something dirty
I wanna do something dirty
with you.
