Soap

Story Behind The Song

This song is my response to the natural phenomena that occurs to a guy when he has a girlfriend, namely that lots of girls suddenly become interested in him. However, once he is single again all the same girls seem to show no interest whatsoever.

VERSE 1:
See I was dating this girl named Bridgette
Who treated me like she was the only one
Who would ever give me pleasure
And she deserved to be observed like the sun

And all her girlie friends all gathered round and said
How much better they would be if only they could have the job
But I kept on like a good little dog
Knowing any day now Bridgette would realize what she's got.

Until one day when pleasure was outweighed
By the frustration and I told Bridgette where she could go
Then came a hail storm of emails from
The outraged gaggle and it's been nothin' but answering machines
and dial tones

BRIDGE:
It's been happening most of
My life's been filled with strife
Over some girl who can't understand
That she should be with me

And now it's getting worse and I don't see a solution
to this problem that has been with me all my life
And if I can't figure it out I think I'm gonna freak out
Take it from me that I cannot take it anymore

CHORUS:
Please tell me why
Chicks only dig an attached guy
And when it's over and you're free
They could not be more bored with you
Like Soap right through your hand

VERSE 2:
A few weeks passed as my testicles sought refuge
In the warm, creamy center of my gut
Awaiting the day that their persecution would be over
And once again upon the beautiful lanes they could strut

Then the December of my member
Was made glorious summer by a hairspray princess
With a cellphone on her hips and Chanel on her lips
And a golden retriever that would always make any man second best

Oh, she was nice enough, but what she thought was love
Was more of a distraction than an attraction or lust
And at night my ceiling and my penis
would imagine Bridgette between us
And then one day the phone rang, and guess who it was?


BRIDGE:
It's been happening most of
My life's been filled with strife
Over some girl who can't understand
That she should be with me

And now it's getting worse and I don't see a solution
to this problem that has been with me all my life
And if I can't figure it out I think I'm gonna freak out
Take it from me that I cannot take it anymore

CHORUS:
Please tell me why
Chicks only dig an attached guy
And when it's over and you're free
They could not be more bored with you
Like Soap right through your hand
