Sucker
vangoffey Lyrics

I said can you pass me a pen
I asked for a pen to write something down

I said just pass me a pen
I reiterated my request for a pen

And then I wrote down a joke that I thought
I wrote a humorous comment

We'll have a rollin' around the floor
I expected her to find it funny and laugh uncontrollably

She just laughed and said she heard it before
She found it familiar and didn't react much

Many times
She had heard the joke multiple times before

She's so hard to talk to
It's difficult to converse with her

I can't get her to dance
I can't make her like me or want to engage with me

They make her feel like a man,
Other men woo her and get her attention

Oh you ain't got a chance
I have no chance with her

So let's just have dance
Let's not worry about trying to impress her and just dance

Oh yeah she's hard to impress
She's not easily impressed

Oh how I wish I was a gifted author of notable success
I wish I had accolades and fame to gain her admiration

But there's a beauty in her verbal gymnastics
Her way of speaking is impressive and interesting

And she's a lover of mundane classics
She enjoys typical, unoriginal pieces of literature

All though her book club is full of intellectual geriatrics
Although her book club consists of old, intellectual people

So I've heard.
I've been told this information by someone else

And when I try to call her
I attempt to contact her

I can't get a response
She doesn't answer my calls

And tellin' the boys she's really doing the dance
I try to impress my male friends by saying she's interested in me

She loves Byron and Rumi
She admires the works of poets like Byron and Rumi

She won't waste no time on me
She considers me uninteresting and doesn't give me attention

Let's just have a dance
Let's just enjoy each other's company and dance

Let's have a dance (Dance dance dance)
Emphasizing the idea of dancing as a distraction from our worries

Yeah let's have a dance
Reiterating the idea of dancing as a way to enjoy the moment
