It was Halloween night.
She was a firefly.
I was just other guy
that her boyfriend wanted to fight.
She said She's drinking whiskey
because She's thinking about me.
I said I'm so confused.
Because I'm thinking about you.
I hope my girl doesn't find out
who you are, what this is about.
baby, you deserve better.
don't tell your boyfriend about our love letters.
Almost got a D.U.I.
because of some drunk guy.
He spilled his drink on her dress,
She looked at me and then we left.
Then we wrecked the car, then she blamed it on me,
Then she told me she wouldn't smoke greens.
Otherwise,
Despite her guy,
Then She'd make-out with me.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Baby.
Attention students: tell me, do you remember?
It's not relevant, it's all nouns & numbers.
I hope I sound real cool
with all my syllables
and my Wisconsin accent
polish sausage, oh my god, Wisconsin.
You've Christmas Tree Lights
on your tights.
it's all right,
I don't wanna fight.
I just want you for one night.
Then finally, maybe we'll see
if it's meant to be
baby, you're my Queen Bee."
