Unemployed Boyfriend Lyrics

    [answering machine:] ¡°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 fr
    T 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's actually kind of cute, in a really intense way. kinda like perry farrell, you know. intense, but sensitive. anyway, i told my bitchy sis
    Bout it, and she just laughed at me. i told her i'm really excited about this! that i have a really good feeling about this guy! i told her, ¡®this could be the guy.' i'm like..."
