lyrics

Verse 1:
Ravi ain’t worth the shit
Ravi ain’t worth the shit
Why’re you always playing with him?
Why’re you never taking the hint?
Hang him up, put on a shelf
Tidy up after yourself
Oh, yes you should
Oh, it’s best for you

Ravi ain’t got the clink
Ravi ain’t making it big
So why’re you always playing with him?
Why you never thinking of me?
Hang him up, put on a shelf
Find another one for yourself
Oh, yes you should
Oh, yes you should

Chorus:
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells

Verse 2:
Layla ain’t worth a cent
Her family barely pays the rent
So why’re you always playing with her?
Why you always roll in the dirt?
Hang him up, put on a shelf
Find someone to show on a shelf
Oh, yes it’s true
Oh, yes it’s true

Chorus:
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells
One down and ten to go
A decade now lost to farewells
