lyrics

You said I'm all alone tonight until the morning
I said is that some kind of a come on or a warning
You laughed a little too hard for it to be that funny
Asked is that chicken done
I said listen honey
You're trolling for trouser trout at this bar-b-que

But I won't take the bait cuz of your boyfriend
Karmic boomerangs are not my forte
It's not a good idea cuz of your boyfriend
Then I turned my back and fate slipped out the door

You said we're both mature adults c'mon I'll show you proof
I said you wouldn't know maturity if it bit you
Then tried asking me if I was gay
I said my preferences didn't lean that way
You still don't seem to get the point bright eyes

I will not sleep with you cuz of your boyfriend
Why would you want to do an ugly thing like that for
What a lucky break for me I'm not your boyfriend
Cuz I wouldn't want you any more

Well here we are I gave you that ride home you wanted
And now you've asked me inside
Oh man I'm starting to shake inside
Stop running your finger through my hair
Don't touch me there
Try touching me there
Are you sure that he won't be home til tomorrow

Lets talk no more tonight about your boyfriend
The guy's probably a big geek anyway
There's one good thing to say about your boyfriend
That he picked tonight to go away
He's 250 pounds did you say
Headlights in the window
Early
Grave
