Lyrics
VERSE
You're as sweet as a Snickers but a terrible tease
You don't like dogs & you won't eat peas
The way you walk scares away the birds
and your speech is full of four letter words
CHORUS
Your pugnaciousness is guaranteed
the music that you like makes my eardrums bleed
You never validate my point of view
So who the hell would ever want to be with you?
VERSE
When I should sweet talk, I hem and haw
When I go to parties, I stare at the wall
Truth be told, I just ain't that cute
and when I share my opinions, the room goes mute
CHORUS
When it comes to money, I got bills to be paid
I didn't learn hygiene until the 14th grade
I whine about everything bad I see
So who the hell would ever want to be with me?
BRIDGE
I've got a few gray hairs and not a lot of tact
and you dare people to love you back
I have PND and IBS
and the colors never match on your thrift store dress
VERSE
I got a broken down, beat up, lousy ride
You change moods like Jekyll and Hyde
I always inclined to condescend
No one likes your obnoxious friends
CHORUS
It doesn't seem like there's much to discuss
The thought of it will probably make you cuss
But instead of putting up a big ol' fuss
Maybe we should just try being us...
