The Dandy Cowboys
SoKo Lyrics

I can't be me when I'm in front of you
I feel uncomfortable around you and can't be myself.

I just can't be myself when I see you
Seeing you makes me feel like I have to put on a facade and act differently than I normally would.

because you're very cute tonight
Your appearance is affecting how I feel about you at the moment.

and I feel shy and sad and I
I am feeling insecure and down.

look at you
I am noticing your appearance.

and I think I love you
I am infatuated with you in this moment.

but you don't want me
You are not interested in me in that way.

and that is very clear
Your lack of interest is easy to see.

I should have noticed it for years
I should have realized this a long time ago.

but I still want you but not as a friend
I am still interested in you romantically, not just as a friend.

because...
There is a reason why I still want you romantically.

you're the man, I'm the girl,
Our genders complement each other.

we look good together
We aesthetically complement each other.

you with your hat, me with my boots
Our fashion styles complement each other.

we are, we are, the dandy cowboys
Together we are stylish and confident, like dandy cowboys.

I read today in a magazine
I learned from a magazine article.

that men don't like girls who are
The article stated that men don't like when women are...

shy and sad so now
Feeling shy and sad is discouraged for women according to the article.

I wear my magic smile, just for you
I put on a happy face for you because of what I read.

I put my magic boots, I ride my magic horse
I am presenting myself in a confident and impressive way.

I am so brave, I don't fear anything
I am portraying myself as courageous and fearless.

I even feel gusts sprawling under my skirt,
I feel confident enough to overlook my skirt lifting up in the wind.

I wrote all amends and give the money, to daddy
I am making things right and being responsible with my money.

because...
There is a reason why I am presenting myself in this way.

and now I'm the richest girl in all the country
My efforts have paid off and I am now very wealthy.

you call me 'baby' you say you want me
You are expressing interest in me now that I am wealthy and confident.

but honey, it's too late
Your interest in me is too little too late.

now I'm the queen of rodeo
I am at the top of my game and very successful.

you missed your chance
You didn't recognize my potential before and now it's too late.

you're no longer my hero.
You are not worthy of my admiration anymore.

you're a bitchy dandy
You are a selfish and arrogant person.

you don't respect the rules
You disregard the standards of behavior expected in society.

you stole my money
You took advantage of me and stole my hard-earned money.

and ran away with your pony
You left the situation and my life behind.

and now I'm gonna kill you
I am so angry that I want to take action against you.

I'll shoot you in the head
I am so violently angry that I want to hurt you physically.

now I'm gonna kill you
My anger and desire for revenge is very strong.

I'm gonna shoot you in the head
I am imagining violent revenge against you.

because...
There is a reason why I am imagining this violent scenario.

you're the man, I'm the girl,
Our genders complement each other.

we look good together
We aesthetically complement each other.

you with your hat, me with my boots
Our fashion styles complement each other.

we are, we are, the dandy cowboys... the dandy cowboys
This phrase is repeated to further emphasize our complementary and confident style.

you didn't want me and that was very clear
Your lack of interest in me was easy to see.

I will never never forget it
I am still affected by your lack of interest in me.

but I still hope that hats and boots can get along together
I still hope that different styles can be complementary.

I still hope that hats and boots can get along together
I still have faith in the idea of complementary fashion.

I still hope that hats and boots can get along together
This phrase is repeated for emphasis that different styles can work well together.

I hope that we get along
I hope that even if we are not romantically involved, we can still have a positive relationship.
