Lyrics (But Then) She Spoke - The Vandals

(But Then) She Spoke

There she stood, she was a vision
A picture of perfection, so I made the big decision
I’m going to talk to her, I have to show to her
It could be magic, and I got the nerve up
So went over there, she was a goddess
I had to show to her I could be her Adonis
At first sight, I knew she was my destiny
The first time, the feeling has come over me
Intimidation, feared rejection
I need to make a love connection
Then the unexpected had occurred
And then it happened
And she spoke, it all just went to hell
Her personality had quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned that I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
If she don’t shut up
I’m gonna throw up
All over her shoes
How could it be?
That such a goddess
Would ever talk to me and make me nauseous
All the things she said just echoed in my head
I thought she was an angel but it was all just misread
Every word was terrible
And made it more unbearable
And made me have to f-ing leave the room
And it’s all because she spoke, tortured by her words
Such a pretty shithead that I wished I never heard
Perfect on the outside but fucked up on the in
How can god be so cruel?
It’s got to be a sin
I had to plug my ears
Until she disappears
So I can cry — waahh
And it’s all because she spoke, it all just went to hell
Her personality had quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned that I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
Cause I was destined
To learn my lesson
And I learned it well
It’s
Never think she’s perfect till you talk to her first
Never fall in love till you go through her purse
Never think she’s perfect till you talk to her first
And I should know
