Bowling For Soup Album

Had to kiss you one more time
so i followed you home
And i almost lost you at the light
i've seen you a couple of times
But i had no idea
that you would be mine tonight

I was to meet another girl
but she didn't show
And you asked if i was alone, oh
The night came to an end
I had to kiss you one more time
so i followed you home, oh

I'm just a boy, i'm on the side
Yeah believe me i don't mind
I'm just a boy, not quite your type
That don't matter much tonight

Yeah you asked if you could call
but you didn't write it down
So i thought that we were through
And when you said "hello"
I could not believe
that i got a call from you

It's lik candy in a bag
you can put it on a shelf
It's there when you need a taste, oh
Sweetness makes you weak
Don't eat it everyday
Just don't let it go to waste, yeah

I'm just a boy, i'm on the side
Yeah believe me i don't mind
I'm just a boy, not quite your type
That don't matter much tonight

I'm not sure where i stand
You call me when you want me
And i'll take you out again, yeah
Hear ya got another guy
I guess it makes you happy
Call me a special friend

I'm just a boy, i'm on the side
Yeah believe me i don't mind
I'm just a boy, not quite your type
That don't matter much tonight

I'm just a boy, i'm on the side
Yeah believe me i don't mind
I'm just a boy, not quite your type
That don't matter much tonight
tonight, tonight...

I don’t know 
when it all began to simmer down. Suddenly I don’t 
want you around
And I’m sitting here
I’m drowning in the worries and the fear
And now I wish it wasn’t quite as clear.

Cause I am starting to forget now
It disappears so fast
I am waiting for “the Question” to be asked.
And if you saw me now
you’d not be disappointed
somehow I’ve gotten to a point
and I’m not ever coming back
my minds made up I’m staying for as long as it has taken

(to get)
Close to you, I wanna get, Close to you and
I need more time, (I wanna get)
Close to you, I just want, Close to you and
I’m not sure why!

Sometimes I
I get up in the morning so surprised.
It takes me some time to realize 
Lately I,
Have really wished that you were still around.
Here to pick me up off of the ground.

She got a valentine from Gary
I opened it up it said, “Would you please be mine.”
I gave her flowers and some candy
She opened them up and said, “You’re trying to 
make me fat.”

[chorus]
(now)
I just want a new girlfriend
I just want someone to make me laugh
I just want a new girlfriend
I just want someone to laugh at me

not to smart, not to tall,
likes to watch tv and play basketball

I bought a car and let her drive it
She opened the door and said “ Oh bother, this is 
red.”
I gave her all my notes from algebra
She opened em up and said , “I can’t believe you’re
so stupid.”

I won’t ever make her wash my car, NO!
I won’t ever take a walk, not unless she’s there
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

I was all alone on a saturday night
The funny thing is, we didn't even have a fight
I stayed up all night crying, and I slept all day, missed the game
Inside I think I'm dying, I just can't figure out how she slipped away

I was out all night one day in Dallas
And the strangest thing is, I can't remember a thing
I was drunk and drinking, and I woke up in my best friends car
My friends say I got crazy, still need to find out how she slipped away

I have no idea what I did
She just told me, "Have someone check your head"
Let me ask you, do you think I was wrong?
Trying too hard, maybe I came on too strong

Trying to find
Trying to find
Trying to find a reason not to leave your side
Trying to find
Trying to find a answer before I lose my mind

I was at a club real late last tuesday
And the wierdest thing is, I can't remember her name
I stayed up all night trying to make her face look just like yours
And she ended up crying, I still need to find out why you slipped away

I have no idea what I did
She just told me, "Have someone check your head"
Let me ask you, do you think I was wrong?
Trying too hard, maybe I came on too strong

Trying to find
Trying to find
Trying to find a reason not to leave your side
Trying to find
Trying to find a answer before I lose my mind x2

I know you don't come from here
Believe me I'm very aware
And I'm sorry 
You were a sad little girl
Who got caught up in this world 
And I'm sorry
Sorry, because we're sorry all the time 

You think you're everything 
Some broken hearted martyr queen
The reason for the setting sun 
Believe me your the only one 

She's the only one who knows
So off the little queenie goes 
To flaunt her ill begotten diamonds
And her elevated nose
My numbers in her pocket 
Told her call me up sometime 
Now there's just no pleasin queenie 
Since queenie lost her mind x2

I tried to write a song 
To rule out all the wrong 
And I'm sorry 
Hey girl lets go on a date 
See a movie or rollerskate 
And I'm sorry 
Better luck next time

You think you're everything 
Some broken hearted disco queen 
The reason for the setting sun 
Believe me your the only one the only one... 

She's the only one who knows
So off the little queenie goes 
To flaunt her ill begotten diamonds
And her elevated nose
My numbers in her pocket 
Told her call me up sometime 
Now there's just no pleasin queenie 
Since queenie lost her mind x2

She's the only one who knows
So off the little queenie goes 
To flaunt her ill begotten diamonds
And her elevated nose
My numbers in her pocket 
Told her call me up sometime 
Now there's just no pleasin queenie 
Since queenie lost her mind x2

Lately I feel so small
Or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before but you were there
So how was I to know

{bridge}
That this single bed
was always meant for two
not just anyone
it was meant for me and you

Chorus
and now you're halfway around the world
and I'm just a day behind
Nothin seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I can't hold you tonight
And now you're halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind

I wake up in the night
I turn around and find that you're not there
I just like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love to feel you near
I think I'm going crazy
Everyday confusion starts to grow
I never noticed it before
But you were there so how was I supposed to know

It was ten years in the making, but, they finally got to tour.
I bought all there albums, I've got there sticker on my door.
I didn't know this girl from Adam. She was with some guy named Stan.
She drank Bud Ice from the can and got her rocks off with the band.

And she would sing to me.
She's all over me.
This girl is scaring me!

When they called her "silly girl" they were right on!
"Dirty sheets" and "Sour Grapes" she kept on
Dancing on and on.
She's just like so many girls,
She just wants to go home with the band.
Maybe if she makes us breakfast,
One of us will hold her hand.

She graduated art school and she read A Clockwork Orange.
She asked me if I had any drugs and she laughed when I said "no."
She hit up "P" for a CD, and he thaught that he might score.

She looks at me and my world stops
I've got to let her know
Before she has to go
And I hope she does confront me
Cause I might never find
The words I got in mind

And I don't know, no I don't know
What to say when I'm around you
I don't know just what to do

You must know the way I feel
By the way I'm acting, yeah
You know I'm so crazy
I'm so crazy about you

She tries to catch me, I wont stop
She grabs me by the hand
I knew she'd understand
And she kisses me and my heart stops
She asks me if I dance 
I said I love the chance

But I don't know, no I don't know
What to say when I'm around you
I don't know just what to do

You must know the way I feel
By the way I'm acting, yeah
You know I'm so crazy
I'm so crazy about you

She tells me that I am the one she's been looking for
I only hope that it is true
And if I tell her that her image never leaves my mind
Will she say she loves me too

She looks at me and my world stops
I've got to let her know
Before she has to go
And I hope she does not confront me
Cause I might never find
The words I got in mind

And I don't know, no I don't know
What to say when I'm around you
I don't know just what to do, yeah

You must know the way I feel
By the way I'm acting, yeah
You know I'm so crazy
I'm so crazy about you

She's a lovely girl
But only when she gets her way
She can be thoughtful
Which is cool sometimes
I think I like her
But she sends an inconsistent vibe
I hold my hand out
Then she punches me good-bye

She's got me tied up in her eyes
Makes me compromise myself
Feeds on disillusion
I wish she was just an illusion...WHOA

Kicked the grass up
While ya waited outside my front door
She drove it twice around 
Before she stopped and let me in
I want to tell her
Exactly how confused I am
I try to stop but then I cant begin

She's got me tied up in her eyes
Makes me compromise myself
Feeds on disillusion
I wish she was an illusion...WHOA x2

I met her just today
But i've seen her before
Now i sit beside her
She told me her name
I said that's my favorite song
And she said she's never heard it

She broke my train of thought
When she told me a secret
The one about a friend now
I felt a hand upon my knee
I guess i forgot to breathe
But only for a moment

All the while i'm thinking
That i can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreaming
If i am don't tell me i don't wanna know

She got up to get a beer
So i moved closer to her chair
And she pretended not to notice
Well i hope she doesn't leave
Cuz i'd like to talk some more
Before i have to go, now

All the while i'm thinking
That i can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreaming
If i am don't tell me i don't wanna know

I guess my talk was too small
I'm not getting anywhere
But i've been here before
So i'll just drive home by myself
And drift away to sleep
I guess it's no big deal.....(big deal)

They finally closed the doors
So i walked her to her car
And the rain began to pour
And with a smile she said good-bye
And i watched her drive away
Well i guess i lost again, now

All the while i'm thinking
That i can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreaming
If i am don't tell me, i don't wanna know [x2]

Don't tell me i don't wanna know

All the while i'm thinking
That i can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreaming
If i am don't tell me, i don't wanna know [x2]

Why am I sitting all by my self just thinking
Now I lie awake in bed
I can't forget about what you said
I tell myself "Hey man, you should know better"
Ya gotta act like nothing's wrong
Ya gotta stand up and be strong

Don't blame me for what buttin' did
These F'n walls are closing in
And if everything does not seem cool
It's cause I'm not sure what I am suppose to do

But everything's fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I got this thing with losing my mind
I wish I could tell you all the things I want to say
So now I think I will in time

I don't suppose I feel like we are sinking
It's not as bad as yesterday
And you can make everything O.K.
If ya start to feel like we are nowhere
??????
And you can think about me too

Don't blame me for buttin' in
These F'n walls are closin' in
And if everything does not seem cool
It's cause I'm not sure what I am suppose to do

But everythings fine
And I don't know why I do this to myself
I got this thing with losing my mind
I wish I could tell you all the things I want to say
So now I think I will in time x3

And everythings fine

I'm on my way to west hall
And I don't know 
What you're thinking when I show up
You invite me in
I sit and stare at the walls
Full of pictures 
Of the people and the places, you hold dear

Sitting on the porch swing later
Our fingers will be cold
I could have used some chapstick
But I found something better to use

You make me lose track of time
For just an hour
That we gained the night before
Daylight savings time

Sitting on the porch swing later
Our fingers will be cold
I could have used some chapstick
But I found something better to use

It all went by so fast
I forgot 
Take a picture from a shoebox
Before I go away

She was 17 and she, she was a loser
That didn't mean that much to me
She got drunk one day and stole my daddy's car
She went and drove into a tree

I got pissed off one day and threw her down some stairs
She cried, "oh daddy, don't hit me"
She broke a bottle over her best friends head
It's a wonder she's not dead

She's a loser
And she thinks we all abuse her
She doesn't know who to believe

I lost her number and i never called her back
But it's all the same to me
She found out the band was playing at a local
And now she's pissed off at me

She's a loser
And she thinks we all abuse her
She doesn't know who to believe

She's a thorn in my side
And she stole my daddy's ride
I wish she was lost at sea

I just tried to be her friend
And now i don't know where this ends
I wish she would marry me, not bury me

She's a loser
And she thinks we all abuse her
You know she makes me so happy

She was 17 and she
She was a loser
She meant everything to me
She got drunk one night
And bit me till it scarred
I let her do the other arm

She's a loser
And she thinks we all abuse her
You know she makes me so happy

She's a thorn in my side
(you know she makes me so happy)
And she stole my daddy's ride
I wish she was lost at sea
(you know she makes me so happy)
And I just tried to be her friend and i don't know where that ends
(you know she makes me so happy)
I wish she would marry me, not bury me
(you know she makes me so happy)

I tried to break into your house on Friday night
I got attacked my your big dog
I tried to play my guitar at your window side
Your mother said it was her room

I didn't know it x4

I left my phone off of the hook on Friday night
You got pissed off and called my friend
I tried all week to figure why we had a fight
What did I say that wasn't right

I didn't know it x4

Why don't you be my one and only friend
Why don't you be my sidekick
You be Robin and I'll try to be Batman
You be Paul and I'm Letterman

I waited for you to pick me up from work
You never showed and I was stuck
I left a message with your dad that I came by
He said you had another guy

I didn't know it x4

Why don't you be my one and only friend
Why don't you be my sidekick
You be Robin and I'll try to be Batman
Your Yoko Ono I'm John Lennon

Why don't you be my one and only friend
Why don't you be my sidekick
You be Robin and I'll try to be Batman
You be Marie and Donnie Osman

Why don't you be my one and only friend
Why don't you be my sidekick
You be Robin and I'll try to be Batman
Your Emmit Smith and I'm Troy Aikman

Tuesday seemed like it was Thursday
Yesterday I came back down
Standing there
Just like the fool I know I'd become
I realize that I'm aware

Once again I see the sunshine
Yeah, and
I wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Well I wake up
To find the world has not stopped turning
And I 
And I am gonna be alright

And I lost way too much in you
Now I don't know what to do
Oh, Oh, Oh
I broke down
Just like I have so times before
Now I see that nothing has changed
Oh, Oh, Oh
And lately things
Have turned around back where they were before
And I got too much on my mind
Mind...
