Lyrics
Metrosexual
Lyrics and Music by James Rustad, Copyright 2005
My baby and I have been through many years and I am in love with her
But something?s gone amiss lately and I fear that we are in trouble
She used to love me better than the rest
Now she?s On Air with Ryan Seacrest
Baby there?s no good reason for you to be leaving
Not again this time
I heard her voice on Loveline when she confessed to her crime
And I think I am losing my mind
No ? No ? she?s been cheating with a Metrosexual
And she?s leaving with a Metrosexual
She?s been cheating with a Metrosexual
He dances so well he dances so free
He?s so secure of his sexuality
His eyebrows plucked with the greatest of care
He?s liberated by the frosted tips on his hair
Baby there?s no good reason for you to be leaving
Not again this time
I heard her voice on Loveline when she confessed to her crime
And I think I am losing my mind
No ? No ? she?s been cheating with a Metrosexual
And she?s leaving with a Metrosexual
She?s been cheating with a Metrosexual
Like Emelda Marcos he?s got a closet full of shoes
A white blouse like a pirate and gelled hair that never moves
You know my football watching has become a bore
Now that she?s found a man who gets a pedicure
