Lyrics
Speed Dating
(Intro played slow)
I?m getting? tired of seeing singles drinkin? doubles at three A.M.
And it?s so hard for me to mingle I?m havin? trouble finding my lifetime friend
Well I?m a single white male don?t look too bad
I?m lookin? through the papers in the personal ads
Something caught my eye at the bottom of the page
A new way of dating in the modern age
It said ten minuets at a table then around you go
You get a brand new partner then you do-se-do
Quickly find out all you need to know
Speed dating
Get it over with fast
Cause nothing these days is built to last
Don?t really need to know all about her past
Speed dating.. it?s the sign of the times
Hello there darling what?s your name
No need to tell me ?cause they?re all the same
Come on honey please don?t bore me
I ain?t got time for your life story
In this abbreviated world I?ve got a plan
That fits my short attention span
This could be forever or a one night stand
Speed dating
Who?s got the time
For flowers and dinner and emotional lines
Just rush her to the alter it will work out fine
Speed dating? it?s the sign of the times
It said ten minuets at a table then around you go
You get a brand new partner then you do-se-do
Quickly find out all you need to know
Speed dating
Who?s got the time
For flowers and dinner and emotional lines
Just rush her to the alter it will work out fine
Speed dating? it?s the sign of the times
