lyrics

Mary Anne with her deep orange tan
Singing "Woe, oh, woe is me."
Egyptian eyes, and a killer in disguise,
But such a pretty sight to see.
Well, she hit me like a bad, bad cold.
Left my shoes, took my gold.
She's a hipster now, or so I'm told.
But who's keeping score?

She walked right out the door.
Not a fan of our rapport.
Another woman I adore has got me spittin' sugar on the floor.
She fucked me but I'm holding out for more.

Carol had a bright idea.
Her thoughts, to me, were crystal clear.
She had a brand new crisis everyday.
She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked away.
Well, it was too much nectar for my cup.
She asked if I ever spoke up.
I told her I was just a quiet pup.
Nothing more.

She walked right out the door.
Thought that I was such a bore.
Another woman I adore has got me spittin' sugar on the floor.
She liked me but I'm holding out for more.

Friends of friends and OKCupid
A kick between the thighs.
Can't I meet one decent person
Sans the crazy eyes?

Janey had a simple heart,
Enjoyed her meals above her art,
Reminded me to take my time.
Didn't care for money's sake,
Didn't care for people fake,
Didn't mind my clutter and grime.
"I'll find a home." she's say.
"But that's for another day.
Right now I've gotta find my own way.
Settle down, what for?"

She's walking out the door.
Time to find what the world has in store.
Another woman I adore has got me spittin' sugar on the floor.
She loves me but she's holding out for more.
