[Intro]
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Hi this is Peggy, leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya! Hey Peggy, it's me You are never going to believe what happened to me today G CI'm sitting at the unemployment office Waiting on my GloCser of a case worker CIn one of those nasty chairs CWhen from out of nowhere This total GstCranger walks right up to me, sits down Then leans over and says something GliCke C"This is going to sound a little obsessive...."GThis is going to Csound a little obsessive
This is going to sound a little bit Gstrange
I have Cone thing to say
CBefore I turn and I walk away
GThis is going to Csound a little impulsive
This is going to sound a little inGsane
I know you Cdon't know me yet
CBut you and I
CWe will be together
SomeAday
ASomeday
AI know ... I know ... I sound like I'm on drugs
But listen to me Gwhen I say...
[Chorus]
That ever since CI first saw you
Sitting on your car outGside you asked Cfor a cigarette
CI couldn't stop staring at your eyes
GEver since Cwhen I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic Gchair
With the lights Cof the office around you
EmThose blonde streaks
CThey look so pretty Gin your black Ahair
AYou look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
Yeah, You want people to think that you Gjust don't care
Hey, you can be with DmeG 'cause I Djust might be the Gone
Who will Dtreat you like you're Cperfect
Who will always make you Gcum
[Chorus]
Hey, you can Dbe with me
GI will Dalways let you Gwin
I will Dnever be like those Cother guys
I will never be your unemDployed Gboyfriend
[Bridge]
GCan you believe he said that to me?!?
GTo me, of all people!
CI can't even remember the last time when a guy took me out on a date and actually paid for it
[Verse 2]
GThis is going to sound a Clittle bit out there
GYeah this is going to sound a Clittle insane
GBut I keep having the Csame dream
GYou will be the mother of my Achildren someday
ASomeday...
[Bridge]
AI've heard you sleep with that obnoxoius guy
AI know he is in that famous band
AYou look so sad when you are with him
AYes, I never see him reach to hold your hand
GYou can be with me, yes I will Dtreat you like a Gqueen
I will Dgo to all those Cchick flick movies
CThat I really don't want to see
GYou can Dbe with me
GNo I will Dnever let you Gdown
I will Dnever make out with Cyour girlfriends
When I Dknow you're not aGround
You can Dbe with meG
Yeah DI just might be the Gone who will Dtreat you like you're Cspecial
I will always make you Gcum
[Chorus]
GYou can be with me
I will Ealways let you Gwin
I will Dnever be like those Cother guys
CI will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed Gboyfriend
[Outro]
GCan you believe this?
CI mean, can this be for real?!?
Then he takes my hand, Cwrites down his number, Gand just walks away
I mean, CWOW
But you know, the weird thing is, he's actually kinda Gcute
In a Creally intense way, kinda like Perry Farrell
Intense but sensitive, Ganyway I told my bitchy sister about it
GAnd she just laughed at me, I told her I was really exited about this guy
GI said this could be the guy
