Not Fair is the second single by British pop singer-songwriter Lily Allen, from her second studio album, It’s Not Me, It’s You.
The single was released as digital download on March 20, the official release being February 19th 2009.
In the song, Allen describes a dilemma with her new, wonderful boyfriend: he’s bad in bed.
“Not Fair” was played by DJ Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 days before the release of the album, and was heavily edited to 02:04, removing the line “Oh I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed, I’m feeling pretty damn hard done by, I’ve spent ages giving head”.
The music video was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles on 19 February 2009.

Lily Allen - Not Fair Lyrics
Oh he treats me with respect
He says he loves me all the time
He calls me 15 times a day
He likes to make sure that I’m fine
You know I’ve never met a man
who’s made me feel quite so secure
He’s not like all them other boys
They’re all so dumb and immature
There’s just one thing
that’s getting in the way
When we go up to bed
you’re just no good
Its such a shame
I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
and its apparent it’s all over
It’s not fair
And I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
Oh you’re supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh it’s not fair
And it’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
Oh you’re supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah all you do is take
Oh I lie here
in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I’m feeling pretty
damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head
Then I remember
all the nice things
that you ever said to me
Maybe I’m just overreacting
maybe you’re the one for me
There’s just one thing
that’s getting in the way
When we go up to bed
you’re just no good
It’s such a shame
I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
and it’s apparent it’s all over
It’s not fair
And I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
Oh you’re supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh it’s not fair
And it’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
Oh you’re supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah all you do is take
There’s just one thing
that’s getting in the way
When we go up to bed
you’re just no good
It’s such a shame
I look into your eyes
I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise
and its apparent it’s all over
It’s not fair
And I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
I think you’re really mean
Oh you’re supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh it’s not fair
And it’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
Oh you’re supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah all you do is take
