Альбом Brendan Benson

Met a girl, introduced myself, yeah
And I asked her go to with me and no one else
And she said, "I'd really like to see you everyday
But I'm afraid of what my friends might say
What my friends might say

You need a bath, and your clothes are wrong
You're not my type; I can tell we wouldn't get along."
And I just laughed — what else could I do?
Just then her friend chimed in, singin' "Get a clue.
Get a life, put it in your song." (Put it in your song)

There's something I've been meaning to say to you
(I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue)
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
(I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue)

And I've rehearsed a little speech
I haven't practiced what I preach
But she was easily impressed
And I was bad and I was weak
And my conscience sprung a leak
And now it's time that I confessed (Put it in your song)

I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name, maybe get a new face
I know a guy lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
Sleep all day, stay up all night

There's something I've been meaning to say to you
(I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue)
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
(I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue)

Met a girl – introduced myself
I asked her to with me and no one else
And she said: I'd really like to see you everyday
But I'm afraid of what my friends might say
You need a bath and your clothes are wrong
You're not my type I can tell we wouldn't get along
I just laughed what else could I do
And her friend chimed in singin' get a clue
Get a life – put it in your song
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
I'd had enough couldn't take it anymore
So I turned and I ran straight for the door
Bought some mags on my way home
For later on ya know when I'm all alone
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes
Watch TV and go to bed
I know a guy lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name – get a new face
Sleep all day stay up all night
And everybody I meet thinks I'm alright

Maybe if I lay real still
It will go away, maybe it will
Maybe this I won't budge
Maybe I just need a little nudge
Maybe this time I won't flinch
Maybe this time it might be a sinch
Maybe this time I won't run
Maybe I'll own up to what I've done
What have I done?
What have I done?

Maybe I'm just damaged goods
And, baby, you're a babe in the woods
And me, I'm just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am
And maybe I've been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And this wasn't how I planned it

Maybe this time I could stay
And let myself get carried away
Maybe this time it's too late
We could make a move or we could wait
Maybe she will understand
And not expect too much from one man
Maybe she can
Or maybe she can't

Maybe when I've changed my tune
I'll come out of my solitude
And start to live my life anew
And spend the rest of my days pleasing you
And on the path to righteousness
I'll swept the dust
Whatever it takes to gain your trust
I'll do what I must
I'll do what I must (I'll do what I must)
I'll do what I must (I'll do what I must)
I'll do what I must

Maybe I'm just damaged goods
And, baby, you're a babe in the woods
And me, I'm just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am
And maybe I've been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And now I walk this planet

Forever it's a joke, the alternative to love

(Benson)

You're quiet
You don't talk
You're shut down
And closed off
You're like me
We're the same
I'm Brendan
What's your name
Been a little bit down on my luck
I think you know where I'm coming from
I need a pick up and I don't mean truck
I wanna know where to get some
You make me
Wanna ask you
A lot of questions
Get to know you
I like you
You can tell
I'd like to
