Hello! How are you?
My name’s Sam and I’d like to know your name too
I’m smooth but I’m cute,
Not threatening but confident with nothing to prove,
I saw you from across the rhumba,
So I zumba’d over to you to ask for your number
Swapping over details, I even get a friend request,
Chatting right up to my ear with a hand on my chest and oh!
This is great, I can say what I want to right to her face
And she’s cool; I think she likes me too,
I even got her laughing at my jokes, smoking my smokes,
Are we gonna make it to the real world? Man I’m stoked!
I know, don’t wanna jump the gun,
But me and her are working out and we are having fun,
But I gotta take a toilet break and when I get back she has gone off and left me and I am squashed FLAT…
Oh Beautiful lady, you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting,
For someone like you and,
If I’m coming on too strong, it’s only cos I don’t want to wait too long and
Oh beautiful lady, come home with me tonight
She’s gone and I don’t know what to do,
So I take my friends’ advice and I just play it cool
But unfortunately alcohol’s a lot like rocket fuel
And I’m knocking back enough of it to send me to the moon
6 Jagers, 8 pints I’m hitting my form
So I give her 9 missed calls, 10 texts, a Facebook and more
I figure every time I’ve had a bit to drink
I throw everything at women but the kitchen sink
I’m standing on the precipice I’m nearly on the brink
Then I get a bit obsessive and I fall off and I sink and
Oh no! I’ve come on too strong and
Oh no! I’ve proper scared her off and
Oh no! I think it’s time to go and drink some
H2O! And maybe just go home…
I wish this wasn’t so one sided, cos baby if you felt like I did,
Then you’d be calling me back, I wouldn’t feel like a bit of a twat
I’m sorry that you feel this way; maybe I didn’t play the game
Quite as well as I might.
