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 statement
Some days patience don't make 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
