Story Behind The Song

true story. exactly as it happened, except the show was called "matchmaker" (which doesn't rhyme with anything and no one has heard of it).

Song Description

Guy treats girl (narrator) like dirt. Girl is sitting around watching TV late at night a few months later and seeks that same guy on a dating show, where he makes a fool of himself and gets booted off the show almost immediately.

Lyrics

He was God's gift to women you can ask him yourself
Little black books piling up on the shelf
Long cool hair and a bad attitude Absolutely sure
he was one hot dude

Chorus:
I was a little put off by our first meeting
and our second and third with your frosty greeting
But I was rewarded for all this rejection
When I saw you get dumped on the Love Connection
yeah

3am I was watchin' TV playing guitar drinkin' JD
I was back from California feelin' down in the dumps
But what I saw next pulled me outta my slump

There they were three women three men
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you among them
Competing for the prize a red hot date
And fame among people who stay up real late well

You stood real cocky and you flipped your hair
waited for your chance to be put on the air
You answered your questions and you thought you impressed
But all the host had to say was "NEXT"

CHORUS

I shook my head in disbelief; why was I allowed to witness your defeat?
I know I shouldn't revel in other people's harm
Just for a moment I believed in Karma Well

You didn't get the date with the dame
But I hope you enjoyed your 5 seconds of fame
Maybe they should call the show Love Disaster
Now I am sure that the guests aren't actors So

From this story I searched for a lesson
I took a look at your self-expression
I guess even total jerks have a need for affection
All this I learned from the Love Connection Yeah
