Unemployed Boyfriend |
''Hey Peggy, it’s me. |
You are never going to believe what happened to me today. |
I’m sittin' at the unemployment office, waitin' on my loser of a caseworker, |
in one of those nasty chairs, |
when from out of nowhere, this total stranger walks right up to me, |
sits down, then leans over and says something like, |
This is gonna sound a little obsessive.'' |
This is gonna sound a little obsessive |
This is gonna sound a little bit strange |
I have one thing to say |
Before I turn and I walk away |
This is gonna sound a little impulsive |
This is gonna sound a little insane |
I know you don’t know me yet |
But you and I, we will be together someday |
Someday |
I know, I know, I sound like I’m on drugs |
Listen to me when I say |
That ever since when I first saw you |
Sittin' on your car outside |
You asked for a cigarette |
I couldn’t stop starin' at your eyes |
Ever since when I first saw you |
Looking bored in that plastic chair |
With the lights of the office around you |
Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair |
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare |
Yeah you want people to think that you just don’t care |
Hey you can be with me |
Yeah 'cause I just might be the one |
Who will treat you like you’re perfect |
Who will always make you come |
Hey you can be with me |
Yes I will always let you win |
I will never be like those other guys |
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend |
Can you believe he said that to me? |
To me, of all people! |
I can’t even remember the last time a guy took me out |
on a date and actually paid for it?! |
This is gonna sound a little bit out there |
This is gonna sound a little insane |
I keep having the same dream |
You will be the mother of my children someday |
Someday |
I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy |
I know he is in that famous band |
You look so sad when you are with him |
Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand |
Yeah you can be with me |
Yes I will treat you like a queen |
I will go to all those chick flick movies |
That I really don’t want to see |
Yeah you can be with me |
No I will never let you down |
I will never make out with your girlfriend |
When I know you’re not around |
Yes you can be with me |
Yeah I just might be the one |
Who will treat you like you’re special |
I will always make you come |
You can be with me |
Yes I will always let you win |
I will never be like those other guys |
I will never be like those other guys |
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend |
Can you believe this? |
I mean, can this be for real?" |
No! |
«Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away.» |
Whoa! |
