[Verse 1]
Your friends keep telling me
I bear a striking resemblance to someone you used to know
But baby's it's me
So why the hell you keep on calling me Flo
And I would hope
That you would have the decency to
Let me go
In case of an emergency

[Verse 2]
But you keep reassuring me
Telling me to just quit tripping on it
And maybe it's me
I guess that I should probably get a grip on it
But, it's hard to do
Every time I see that tattoo
Over your heart
It ain't right I can't even look at you

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you do what you're doing?
You should be doing what you want
Who the fuck you think you're fooling
She's the one the one you want

[Chorus]
Florence if you hear this won't you
Come and take your girlfriend back
She's been calling out your name
Every time we're in the sack
She's been a mess since you've been apart
So Flo if you had half a heart
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo

[Verse 3]
We've been going for a while
But lately she's been somewhere else
She don't even smile
And I think it's a cry for help
And I would pray
That you would have the common courtesy
To take her away
It ain't right she don't belong to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you do what you're doing?
You could be doing who you want
You're the only one you're fooling
She's the one the one you want

[Chorus]
Florence if you hear this won't you
Come and pick your girlfriend up
She been talking in her sleep
And I think that I've had enough
She's been a wreck since you've been away
So Flo if you have something to say
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear me
Can you hear me
