You like the girls who talk dirty
The girls who wear their skirts above their knees
You like the way they bat their lashes
The way that they flaunt and tease
They turn when you’re walking down the hallway
They smile with their vaseline
They fight just to win your affection
Why can’t you like a girl like me
And I’m here
Standing on your sideline
I’m here
Maybe I wish I was Mary
Betty Ann or Bobby Sue
If I could tie the stem of a cherry
With my tongue would that impress you
And I’m here
Standing on your sideline
I’m here waiting this whole time
I’m here, yeah, I’m here
What if you want to go steady
What if one day we get married
I think I’d make a good Mrs.
Even though I’ve never really been kissed
I’m here
Standing on your sideline
I’m here waiting this whole time
I’m here, yeah, I’m here
And I noticed you noticed me
You walked this way and right past me
And I’m here
Standing on your sideline
I’m here waiting this whole time
I’m here, yeah, I’m here

King for a Day

She is the new anti-Brittany
Because she won the teenage lottery
To me it is a great big mystery
One that is driving me to lunacy
What if I could change my own history
Going back to when I was just 16
Would I appreciate the simple things
Or would I wish that I could be
King for a day
King for a lifetime
Having my way
All I ever wanted
People say that I can have anything
If I put an honest day’s work in
It’s not too late, The time it is a tickin’
I want a break, Somebody freakin' listen.
King for a day
King for a lifetime
Having my way
All I ever wanted
Back to the grind and I can’t really see
How this decides what will be my destiny
Can you explain the luckiness that some have found
All I want’s the chance to wear the crown
King for a day
King for a lifetime
Having my way
All I ever wanted

Love is a Sad Affinity

Try to forget me but don’t try to hard
Say you don’t know me but don’t say it out loud
You are so loud
I’m in love and it’s really sad
Full of tears but I’m really glad
To be here with you
I’ll send you a letter, one that you can’t refuse
Maybe I’ll convince you that I’m the perfect one for you
Perfect for you
Let’s meet for ice cream and gaze up at the moon
Tell me all your wishes, I promise to make them all come true
Make them come true
I’m in love and it’s really sad
Full of tears but I’m really glad
To be here with you
Even though you don’t know it yet
I’m the one you won’t regret
I’ll be here for you
‘Cause when you look at me
I’m positive of the affinity
You make me feel as good
As if you were the Easter Bunny
You say I didn’t warn you before you fell to my charms
I really hate to tell you but you were never so wrong
You are so wrong
I’m in love and it’s really sad
Full of tears but I’m really glad
To be here with you
Even though you don’t know it yet
I’m the one you won’t regret
I’ll be here for you

Orange Crush

I can’t handle the obvious
You can’t handle the politics
If I should appear to be content
Well you should know that I’m really spent
I don’t know what to say or what to think about you
All I know is this orange haze is making me feel better
Crossing the line to your bag of tricks
Nothing like gin tasting on my lips
Painting me into your perfect hue
Convince me love is best when it’s blue
I don’t know what to say or what to think about you
All I know is this orange haze is making me feel better
I don’t know what to say or what to think about you
All I know is this orange haze is making me feel so, so better
Holding you in my big spoon, a sherbet colored memory
Holding you in my big spoon
Holding you in my big spoon, a sherbet colored memory
Holding you and it’s simply that good
I don’t know what to say or what to think about you
All I know is this orange haze is making me feel better
I don’t know what to say or what to think about you
All I know is this orange haze is making me feel so, so better
Yeah, yeah
I don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know
