Unemployed Boyfriend
Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or Ill kill ya."
Hey Peggy, its me. You are never going to believe what happened to me today. Im 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 dont know me yet
But you and I, we will be together someday
Someday
I know, I know, I sound like Im 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 couldnt 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 dont care
Hey you can be
with me
Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like youre 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 cant 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 dont 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 youre not around
Yes you can be with me
Yeah I just might be the one
Who will treat you like youre 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."
