《Everything But The Girl》的詞曲作者和演唱者是The Pretenders，而"apron strings"在這首歌中並不是歌詞的一部分。以下是這首歌的部分歌詞：
女：
Everybody's looking for something
Somebody to love
And I'm no exception
But I ain't looking for no girl
男：
Oh no, I ain't looking for no girl
I ain't looking for no girl
女：
Oh I ain't looking for no fancy things
Just a simple life, you know what I mean
男：
Yeah, I'm looking for something real
And I ain't looking for no girl
女：
I ain't got no apron strings attached to me
I ain't got no broken heart to mend
男：
I ain't got no apron strings attached to me
I ain't no rolling stone, I'm a man who loves to roam
女：
But I ain't looking for nobody to love me back again
男：
No, I ain't looking for nobody to love me back again.
