Unemployed Boyfriend (Re-Recorded)

Lyrics

Hi, this is Peggy
 Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya
 Hey peggy, it's me
 You are never going to believe what happened to me today
 I'm sittin' at the unemployment office
 Waitin' on my loser of a caseworker in one of those nasty chairs
 When from out of nowhere
 This total stranger walks right up to me
 Sits down, then leans over and says something like
 "This is gonna sound a little obsessive"
 This is gonna sound a little obsessive
 This is gonna sound a little bit strange
 I have one thing to say
 Before I turn and I walk away
 This is gonna sound a little impulsive
 This is gonna sound a little insane
 I know you don't know me yet
 But you and I, we will be together someday, someday
 I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs
 Listen to me when I say
 That ever since when I first saw you
 Sittin' on your car outside
 You asked for a cigarette
 I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes
 Ever since when I first saw you
 Looking bored in that plastic chair
 With the lights of the office around you
 Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair
 You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
 Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care
 Hey you can be with me
 Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
 Who will treat you like you're perfect
 Who will always make you come
 Hey you can be with me
 Yes I will always let you win
 I will never be like those other guys
 I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
 Can you believe he said that to me?
 To me, of all people!
 I can't even remember the last time a guy took me out
 On a date and actually paid for it
 This is gonna sound a little bit out there
 This is gonna sound a little insane
 I keep having the same dream
 You will be the mother of my children someday, someday
 I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy
 I know he is in that famous band
 You look so sad when you are with him
 Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand
 Yeah you can be with me
 Yes I will treat you like a queen
 I will go to all those chick flick movies
 That I really don't want to see
 Yeah you can be with me
 No I will never let you down
 I will never make out with your girlfriend
 When I know you're not around
 Yes you can be with me
 Yeah I just might be the one
 Who will treat you like you're special
 I will always make you come
 You can be with me
 Yes I will always let you win
 I will never be like those other guys
 I will never be like those other guys
 I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
 Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real?
 No
 Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away
 Whoa
 I mean wow, but you know the weird thing is
 He is actually kinda cute in a really intense way
 Kinda like Collin Farrell, you know
 Intense but sensitive
 Anyway I told my bitchy sister about it, she just laughed at me
 I told her, "I'm really excited about it
 That I have a really good feeling about this guy"
 I told her, "This could be the guy"
