Money Back Guarantee
Pigeon John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus:

Just trying to meet you
Hey you across from the bar
I ain't no pimp or athlete or hip hop star
Just trying to meet you
I'm just a regular guy
I don't make that much money girl I aint gotta lie

1st Verse:

Excuse me can I buy you an orange juice?
No? Wow you're honest aren't you?
It befits you may I assist you?
You look kinda sad can I offer a tissue?
(You're crazy) There's that grin
Its been gone for awhile huh? Don't pretend
Why? Your exboyfriend he did what?
He broke up with you because you didn't have a butt
Wow the LL Cool J syndrome its popular
But he's a weirdo I don't need no binoculars
To see you're fine all these girls can't reach you hey

Chorus:

Just trying to meet you
Hey you across from the bar
I aint no pimp or athlete or hip hop star
Just trying to meet you
I'm just a regular guy
I don't make that much money girl I aint gotta lie
Just trying to meet you
But if you give me a chance
Ill take you to The Derby
And I'll teach you how to dance with me
Just trying to meet you
And you gonna peep how I sway
And when we at the movies girl you ain't gotta pay

Bridge

That's my guarantee
That's my guarantee
You get your money back for free girl
If you ain't feeling me (2x)

Now bring it down

2nd Verse:

Ok so that was a long chorus
But I really wanted to let you know I adore yas
(What?) The way you drink your beer in a wine glass
Its kind of weird but I don't know where to find that
Plus you got the bomb haircut
Or hairdo whatever baby yo you know what's up
And it clear I'm feeling you can I take and deliver you?
Show you off to all my friends who were planning on stealing you
Ok cool where shall we go?
(Kate Mantillini's!) OK girl take it slow
First we start at Taco Bell I'ma have to teach you

Chorus:

Just trying to meet you
Hey you across from the bar
I aint no pimp or athlete or hip hop star
Just trying to meet you
I'm just a regular guy
I don't make that much money girl I aint gotta lie
Just trying to meet you
But if you give me a chance
I'll take you to The Derby
And I'll teach you how to dance with me
Just trying to meet you
And you gonna peep how I sway
And when we at the movies girl you ain't gotta pay





Now bring it down (x2)
