Ready for a Girlfriend by Devin Ens

 

One time I couldn’t give a dime

About a steady romance but I’m

Ready for a girlfriend

 

To make a point I took a vow

What point, I don’t remember now

I’m ready for a girlfriend

 

We could go to shows

And watch the rockers pose

I don’t need to be one of those

 

I’m wearing pants that fit me

And I’m looking for a top to get me

Ready for a girlfriend

 

I’ve got a tie around my neck

Blood pressure fine last time I checked

I’m ready for a girlfriend

 

And we could look at art

Or buy cheese at the mart

Or stay in playing Hearts

 

I’ve had my fill of tea for one

The teeter-totter’s never fun

I’m ready for a girlfriend

 

I’m getting touchy feely

And I’m certain that I’m really really

Ready for a girlfriend

 

To keep me on the mend

Correct me when I offend

Tell me how to spend

 

…My time, my time

How could I spend so much time

Chasing tequila with lime?

How could I spend all those nights

Squandering savings on fights

I can’t win? I can’t win alone

I can’t win

Alone.
