lyrics

In the dark, at the park
I can feel where you are
And it don’t matter about the show
‘cause you know about the after-party
Oh Lord
I feel like maybe you are the one
I mean with you girl, I’d even become vegan
All because your brainy aptitude
uh huh, that brainy aptitude, uh huh

Dropping names like Jean-Paul Sartre
I can tell that you are oh-so-smart
‘cause you know about Thoreau
well I guess I can call you an intellectual
I’m in love with your IQ
and I never mind you showing off
that brainy aptitude
uh huh, that brainy aptitude, uh huh

With conviction, never ‘fraid to voice your opinion
like when you called my favorite books
self-indulgent, shallow and derivative
Flashing the diction when you’re cutting down
the competition
Using logic and your axioms
you’re god’s gift
and I feel like I got something to prove
I guess, I just can’t keep up with your
brainy aptitude

****************
****************

Well, I’m feeling ready, baby
It’s been a week
Or a month or maybe two
And how I want your body
But I don’t even know if I cross your mind
Because every time we set a date
Something always gets in the way
Can’t tell if you’re running late
Or are you really running away

I’m the one who wants to love you
if you’d love me
And come on, girl
You know I'd make you oh-so-happy
If you want me one way
I’ll be one way, baby
If you call me, girl
You know I come so fucking fast

La de da de da, you say
But something always gets in the way
Can’t tell if you’re running late
Or are you really running away

I’m the one who wants to love you
if you’d love me
And come on, girl
You know I make you oh-so-happy
If you want me one way
I’ll be one way, baby
If you call me, girl
You know I come so fucking fast
