lyrics

Ice cubes and TV tubes
and studies show that you've got the blues.
Racing horses, science courses
Three identical pairs of shoes.

Broken stairs and messy hair
and everybody knows you're self aware.
Midnight movies and friends in Juvie
and I'm starting to feel like the county fair.

Pair of legs on a pumpkin pie
prize watermelon and a marble rye.
All that makeup in your eyes
makes it look like you wanna cry.

Swimming pools and football rules
and tell me what you learned in school.
I think your'e pretty, I think you're pretty
do you think i'm cool?

I know I'm not the coolest guy
but will you be my girlfriend?

Oh she doesn't love you.
Hey why does it have to be that way?

Bet you feel you're pretty cool
swimming around at the end of the pool.
What if I told you I couldn't swim?
What would you think of your baby then?

Why can't you just leave me alone?
It's not like you call me on the telephone.
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my bones.
Is this how the story goes?

Hey baby squid, just look what you did.
You made me feel like Captain Kidd.
You started a fire, you said you'd retire.
I'm hanging on a wire and I can't go higher.

I can't fight, it's the thrill of the night.
Everybody's saying it'll be alright.
Clean up your act, show a little tact
think abstract, remember the facts.
