Tired of Sex Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of having sex (So tired)
I'm spread so thin
I don't know who I am (Who I am)
Oh
[Chorus]
Monday night, I'm makin' Jen
Tuesday night, I'm makin' Lyn
Wednesday night, I'm makin' Catherine
Oh, why can't I be makin' love come true?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
I'm beat, beet red
Ashamed of what I said (What I said)
Oh
I'm sorry, here I go
I know I'm a sinner but I can't say no (Say no)
Oh
[Chorus]
Thursday night, I'm makin' Denise
Friday night, I'm makin' Sharise
Saturday night, I'm makin' Louise
Oh, why can't I be makin' love come true?
(What's a guy to do?)
[Outro]
Oh, tonight, I'm down on my knees
Tonight, I'm begging you please
Tonight, tonight, please
Oh, why can't I be makin' love come true?
Getchoo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is beginning to hurt
This is beginning to be serious
It used to be a game, now it's a cryin' shame
'Cause you don't wanna play around no more
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I push too hard
Sometimes you fall and skin your knee
I never meant to do all that I've done to you
Please, baby, say it's not too late
[Chorus]
To getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
Uh-huh
Oh-ho
[Verse 3]
You know this is breakin' me up
You think that I'm some kind of freak, uh-huh
But if you'd come back to me then you would surely see
That I'm just foolin' around
[Chorus]
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
[Bridge]
I can't believe (I can't believe)
What you've done to me
What I did to them (What I did to them)
You've done to me, oh
[Chorus]
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
Uh-huh
[Outro]
(This is beginning to hurt) Oh-ho
(This is beginning to hurt) Oh-ho
(This is beginning to hurt) Oh-ho-ho-ho
(This is beginning to hurt) Oh
No Other One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My girl's a liar
But I'll stand beside her
She's all I've got
And I don't wanna be alone
My girl don't see me
When she's with my friends
She's all I've got
And I don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
No, there is no other one
No, there is no other one
I can't have any other one
Though I would, now I never could with one
[Verse 2]
All of the drugs she does
Scare me real good
She's got a tattoo and two pet snakes
Nobody knows me like her
Nobody knows her like me
We're all we've got
And we don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
No, there is no other one
No, there is no other one
I can't have any other one
Though I would, now I never could with one
[Chorus]
No, there is no other one
No, there is no other one
I won't have any other one
Though I would, now I never could with one
Why Bother? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I should get next to you
You got a look that made me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not somethin' real, so I'd rather keep wackin'
[Chorus]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Verse 2]
I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
[Chorus]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Verse 3]
It's a crying shame I'm all alone
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
Won't you knock me on my head?
Crack it open, let me outta here
[Chorus]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Outro]
(Why bother?) Why bother?
(It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me
(It's gonna kill when) Why bother?
(You desert me) It's gonna hurt me
(Why bother?) Why bother?
(It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
Across the Sea Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are eighteen year-old girl who live in small city of Japan
You heard me on the radio about one year ago and you wanted to know
All about me and my hobbies
My favorite food and my birthday
[Chorus]
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song
[Verse 2]
They don't make stationery like this where I'm from
So fragile, so refined
So I sniff (So I sniff)
And I lick (And I lick)
Your envelope and fall to little pieces every time (Your envelope and fall to)
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea
[Chorus]
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song
[Bridge]
At ten, I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if I did
You see, ma, I'm a good little boy (Good little boy)
It's all your fault, mama, it's all your fault (It's all your fault)
[Verse 3]
Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send (So you send)
Me your love (Me your love)
From all around the world (From all around the world)
As if I could live on
Words and dreams and a million screams
Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel
[Chorus]
Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song
(I've got your letter) I've got your letter, you've got my song
The Good Life Lyrics
[Intro: Matt Sharp]
Yeah, check me, woo
[Verse 1]
When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that funky dude
Staring back at me?
Broken, beaten down, can't even get around
Without an old man cane, I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone (Woo)
[Verse 2]
Excuse the bitching
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
'Cause feeling is pain
As everything I need is denied me
And everything I want is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[Post-Chorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Verse 3]
Screw this crap, I've had it (I've had it)
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
So 'scuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
(Hear me?) Hear me? I want sugar in my tea
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[Post-Chorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Bridge]
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[Post-Chorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
El Scorcho Lyrics
[Intro: Brian Bell]
¡El Scorcho!
¡Ay, cabrón!
[Verse 1]
Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of public enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me
[Chorus]
I'm a lot like you, so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me
[Verse 2]
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them (How cool is that?)
How cool is that? So I went to your room
And read your diary
"Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table"
And then my heart stopped, "Listening to Cio-Cio San
Fall in love all over again" (Ow)
[Chorus]
I'm a lot like you, so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting (Oh, what could it be now?)
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me
[Bridge: Rivers Cuomo & Brian Bell]
How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won't you gimme a minute?
Just come up to me and say hello to my heart
How stupid is it? For all I know you want me too
And maybe you just don't know what to do
Or maybe you're scared to say
"I'm falling for you"
[Verse 3]
I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cause I can't even look in your eyes
Without shaking and I ain't faking
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon
[Chorus]
I'm a lot like you, so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting (Waiting, oh)
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me (Oh-hoo)
[Outro: (Matt Sharp) & Rivers Cuomo]
(I'm a lot like you) I'm a lot like you
(I'm a lot like you) I'm waiting, oh
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me, woo
Pink Triangle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I'm stable long enough
I start to look around for love
See a sweet in floral print
My mind begins the arrangements
But when I start to feel that pull
Turns out I just pulled myself
She would never go with me
Were I the last girl on Earth
[Chorus]
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Verse 2]
Might have smoked a few in my time
But never thought it was a crime
Knew the day would surely come
When I'd chill and settle down
When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place
Everyone's a little queer
Oh, can't she be a little straight?
[Chorus]
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
[Chorus]
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one, oh
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good, oh
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one, oh
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Oh, pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Falling for You Lyrics
[Intro]
"어느 회사 제품이죠?"
[Verse 1]
Holy cow, I think I've got one here
Now just what am I supposed to do?
I've got a number of irrational fears
That I'd like to share with you
First, there's rules about old goats like me
Hanging 'round with chicks like you
But I do like you and another one
You say "like" too much
[Chorus]
But I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you, oh
[Verse 2]
Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it?
Just as I was busting loose
I gotta go turn in my rock star card
And get fat and old with you
'Cause I'm a burning candle, you're a gentle moth
Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder
And I do like you, you're the lucky one
No, I'm the lucky one
[Chorus]
I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Holy sweet goddamn
You left your cello in the basement
I admired the glowing stars
And tried to play a tune
I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true
What could you possibly see in little ol' three chord me?
But I do like you and you like me too
I'm ready, let's do it, baby
[Chorus]
I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down
[Outro]
(Down)
With you (You)
Down (Down)
With you (You)
Oh
Butterfly Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, I went outside
With my mama's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
The ghost slips away
[Verse 2]
Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog, then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
The ghost slips away
[Verse 3]
I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
[Outro]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
