uno

did you hear me singin' to you?
i didn't think so

you were shining your smile at the dude in the flashy shirt
i told you he's jerk
but it doesn't matter
because the fatness of his wallet is all the flattery you needed
i've spent my life stepping out of the trough you choose to feed in
it doesn't matter
what you do
i've got better things to do
than sing to you
about things that you just don't get anyway
what's a hearbeat 'less it's posted on a hallmark card
or represented as a decal on your favorite brand of sports car
that make and model is obscure to me
but i really dig the imagery
i imagine someday that calvin will be pissing on my grave
that little rascal
play this song as the soundtrack for your next "hook me up" fiasco
you suck
in volumes
so loudly
it bums me out that you're beautiful and clueless
it bums me out that i've got time to think about this
and that i'm here right now
it'll be 3 am some random night a year from now
when you tear off his engagement ring
call me up and blame me for not letting you know he's a jerk
a year ago
and you'll ask me to come pick you up
and reassure you that you don't suck as much as you feel you do
and i'll do it
'cause i'm a nice guy
whoopie, the joys of being a nice guy
i'll mention that a year ago you sucked, but didn't listen
you probably won't listen
and i'll probably add part two to this then
