Game Store Girl
Beefy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's this girl I kinda know, got a name tag and pig tails
And she don't seem to know that she's a god amoung females
Because she's hella hot, but she smiles back at me
Asking what I think of the new editions of the PS3
I don't know, kinda cool, but I think that she's great
Trying to work up all my courage just to ask for a date
But it's weird cause she's at work, and she's real nice for a living
And I don't wanna be a douche bag like a real life super villain
So I... step back let the other dudes try
And I... try to pretend that I'm not the jealous type
But I'm... knowing better so I hide in the back
And try to formulate a plan like I'm both Wiki and Zach
Shoud I...go up and tell her I'm a legend on the internet
Give her a night she won't forget and I don't even know her yet
Hardly feeling studly, matter fact I'm feeling weak
Cause I think I got no shot, but she's shooting me a wink

Game store girl I've got a crush
Let me take you to the food court and I'll buy ya lunch
Discount at the pretzel place, she buys me soda pop
She gets all of my in-jokes and I never want the game to stop

I'm not rich, I don't have a degree
But she only cares that I'm a fan of TMNT
And just the cartoon, because she didn't like the movie
Says she's a fan of Evil Dead, and so I say that's groovy
But please don't tell her that I haven't seen the flick
She says she don't like smokers so I throw away the Bic
And her manager tells me that I shouldn't stay and loiter
But I do not give a damn about her needle neck employer
I can't go home cause I stubbed my toe
If I can't be with this woman, might as well just be alone
Still too brash, I invite her to my pad
We could beat up Koopa Troopas while we quote some Superbad
She smiles and she laughs and she pats me on my head
She says sorry cookie belly, but I'm going home to bed
But you can have this poster, when ya see it, think of me
I'll think of you when you're all famous and you're on TV

Game store girl I've got a crush
Let me take you to the food court and I'll buy ya lunch
Discount at the pretzel place, she buys me a soda pop
She gets all of my in-jokes and I never want the game to stop

Here's the thing (Here's the thing) I really like you (I really like you)
And I don't have to try at all just to entice you
You love Excite Bike, you can beat up Mike Tys
And I think in less than five year I could see you as my wife
But here now in the present nobody will treat you better
I'll go walking if you want to but you got wear my sweater
And I won't boss you around, and I won't talk bout myself
And I'm impressed by every game you've got hanging on your shelf
I'm a nice and silly guy, I may not be your fantasy
But I would treat you like a queen, and we could always play the Wii
And I'll cut back on the pot cause I think you're really hot
And you can scream and squeeze me while we're playing Bioshock
I'm not ripped, I'm not fit, but I can always make you laugh
Competitive and geeky cause you kick my ass at math
And I can surely promise I won't turn into a jerk
Let me know when you're on break, I'd like to visit you at work

Game store girl I've got a crush
Let me take you to the food court and I'll buy ya lunch




Discount at Pretzel Time, she buys me soda pop
She gets all of my in-jokes and I never want the game to stop

This song deserves more attention so do you beefy!

deathofdozen

Dude, your work is impressive! Beyond the awesome sense of humor, these are catchy tunes and your voice works extremely well. Your delivery is pretty fast but very articulate. Well done!

Michael Gariety

This is probably my favorite song by Beefy, easily one of my favorite Nerdcore songs in general!

Andy Cunningham

Amazing Beefy, please keep giving us these hits! The beats are insane!

Steven T

I'm actually rather upset at how unknown many of the great talents in this genre are. I recently discovered names like Schaffer (maybe spelled wrong) dr awkward, and yourself but after listening to your music i expected to see hundreds of thousands of views and subscribers. It's disappointing what some people call entertainment when songs like this receive less attention

The Palmtop Tiger

You're stuff is amazing Beefy! Downloaded the free stuff on the website, I'll buy the paid ones when I get a job.

Alkalinebat

God damn Beefy, just played this song to this girl at the South Hill Mall here in Washington and she just blushed to hell man. Thanks for the greatness

Ursinity

This and Red Cyclone are prolly my favorite songs atm, Just plain awesome, Crazy nice Flow.

OsolocoAZ

I love this song. It's great, one of my favs, but I like so many Beefy songs. Something about 'Wonderfulamazing' gets me every time still..

wlfrdbss

So I literally just discovered this "nerdcore" thing - nice work man, keep it up!
