lyrics

I’ve been searching online all night
Trying to find somebody that’s right
Someone who might wanna fight for me
I’ve got nothing to offer you
But a mediocre body in worn red shoes
And a voice that’s rough and sometimes nasally

I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
My mouth’s sewn shut ‘cause my brain is full
Of words that I can’t seem to babble
And I need another ex-girlfriend
Like I need a hole in my skull

Well I never really liked being by myself
Just me and a dresser and a record shelf
And a tape deck that doesn’t work so well anymore
I’ve got nothing to write home about
But crooked grin in a dried up mouth
And an empty wallet when I walk out the door

I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
Got a chord progression that I stole
From a Bob Mould record or a Costello
But I know I’ll never impress you
Till I get a hole in my skull

I will be faithful to you
And I will always tell you the truth
You look great in that dress
But baby girl my head’s a mess

I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
And the words engraved in my tombstone
Will just reflect the way I moaned
About how every ex-girlfriend
Cost me a hole in my skull
