Hey there girl (hey!)

You must need some company (sure)

Come and jump with glee

I can be your cup of tea (okay)

I just turned eighteen yet I ain't seen a girl like you (yeah right)

"Hate the bait, wait to date"

Yet it's what I might do

Feel free to place bets, that'll seal these strained steps

Err, well, maybe let's wait' y'know, get a rain check (what?)

So, without a shrug I'm out of love like the Shadrach rap track

But I got the last laugh 'cause I don't need no girl, yeah, scratch that (whatever you say...)

If only I believed that statemеnt

Some days patience don't makе sense so I take ten from chasin' hens

I sit in cellars flippin' scripts wishin' I could split and tell her

This dame's so tame with those hips like Cinderella's (excuse me?)

Um, that's not my openin' line

I was hopin' in time I could get to knowin' your mind

Thus I'm showin' my spine

It was awkward… (yeah) but I got word you didn't care

Now I'm sittin' there givin' stares tryin' to pick a chair

It's just… (just what?)

The one I got ain't workin' out

I can see my friends squirm with doubt

They see me with an uneasy look and I heard 'em shout (what are you doing?)

I still talk it down and walk around without clues!

But enough about me

Let's here some more about you, girl (well...)

Tell me that story of yours

The glory of wars you won

I'll get the evidence that cements this precipice as true love

I know it's a lot to show but we can let our thoughts grow

Actually, you know what girl, I gotta go (seriously!?)

Where's the emergency exit?

She ain't a bird to be messed with

I don't wanna hurt or depress chicks

Just it were to seem desperate

My thoughts are sporadic

No longer mathematic

Them girls got that black magic rabbit-in-a-hat trick and they said I can't have it

It's madness

I do backflips

Now my brain's a mess and they know it

Plus I'm a poet and anything but stoic

I'm a loser, baby

The jazz and blues made me

The colors and hues paint scenes and lately I'm tryin' to choose a lady

Some days my dumb ways make me reel and grown

More often than not I feel alone (this is just sad)

Here I am again

Repeatin' the cycle

I must seem like a psycho who's in "seekin' a wife" mode (yeah, kinda)

A mission that'll bruise moods that I'm doomed to lose

It's all proven true

Am I in the bloom of youth? (yes)

And she's on a mission for a man who'll listen to the plan

But she won't fall for any glisten in a pan

Fair enough

I hope I'm squarin' up with that tone

From now on I'll leave my personal demons at home

She says, "get your act together, you've got a life to give

Forget a wife and kids, go earn your right to live,"

And now - just now - I can hear the drummer

She's so ugly but I'm so in love with her

I love that drum beat like a fat kid loves lunch meats

And that's it - I don't need a girl to love me

(Wow, it sounds like he's actually made emotional progress)

I don't

(Wow!)

But will you smile, girl? (oh no, nevermind)

Will you light up my world?

Yeah, c'mon girl (oh yeah, this has gone back to sad again)

C'mon girl

I can be your cup of tea
