Geeky Girlfriend
Fair warning: This is possibly the goofiest/lamest song I've ever written. But I think it's mildly hilarious. (Especially the last verse.) Proceed at your own risk!
"Geeky Girlfriend"
Mood: So power pop it hurts
My friends, they say it
At the drop of a hat
But me, I mean it
But I never get the chance
Just when it seems I'm just in reach
Like Mr. Prufrock and his peach
I fall, fall flat
I'm lying on my back
But you, you see
To me you're almost perfect
You draw, you read
And your every move is suspect
'Cause when I see the green light to go
Red flags start screaming "no no no"
And then, again
No partner at the party
Oh please won't you be my geeky girlfriend?
I'd make it worth your while in the end
I'll take another drink and then I'll try it again
Oh please won't you be my geeky girlfriend?
My friends, they got it
I don't even know what it is
My friends, they flaunt it
Every six months some new bliss
Me I'm stuck on you so bad
Wanna take you home and meet your dad
But shucks, no luck
You're out the door again
Oh please won't you be my geeky girlfriend?
Sittin' in the corner reading up on Gaiman
You can be Selina if you let me be Batman
Oh please won't you be geeky girlfriend?
Oh please won't you be my geeky girlfriend?
I've made a lifestyle out of playing pretend
You've double clawed my heart, are you going to rend?
Oh please won't you be my geeky girlfriend?
Oh please, please, please
Oh please, please, please
Oh please, please, please
Be my geeky girlfriend
In response to queries: It sounds kind of like Weezer mixed with the Ramones, I don't have a guitar part yet, and it's deliberately silly because it was more fun to write that way. -E
