[Verse 1]
I, I’m just a piece of your pie chart
You’re in a room with a rock star
Only I play the good parts of a kind heart

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sky’s too low and the room’s too dark
But she just carries on
And I get her in but her friend gets turned away
But what can I say?

[Chorus 1]
When the boy meets girl and the girl meets boy
And the boy thinks the girl’s alright
Get your head out the library
Get the courage of the cavalry
You might be good looking
But you can’t sleep with yourself tonight
Oh what a beast, oh what a man
You’ve gotta get it while you can
Oh what a beast, oh what a man

[Verse 2]
Oh I, I wish that beggars were choosers
Unload my love like a looter
I need some gas and a kick start, for a good heart

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The lighting's cheap, and the room is cold
But she just carries on
And you’ll get no sleep
But you might be turned away
So what will you say?

[Chorus 1]
When the boy meets girl and the girl meets boy
And the boy thinks the girl’s alright
Get your head out the library
Get the courage of the cavalry
You might be good looking
But you can’t sleep with yourself tonight
Oh what a beast, oh what a man
You’ve gotta get it while you can
Oh what a beast, oh what a man
Oh what a beast, oh what a man

[Bridge]
Underground machine
Underground
Underground machine
Underground

[Chorus 2]
When the boy meets girl and the girl meets boy
And the boy thinks the girl’s alright
Get your head out the library
Get the courage of the cavalry
If you’re so good looking
Why don’t you sleep with yourself tonight?
Oh what a beast, oh what a man
You’ve gotta get it while you can
You’ve gotta get it while you can
You’ve gotta get it while you can
Oh what a beast, oh what a man

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
