Itro-
Well, Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me
I'm a lot like you so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that??
So I went to your room and read your diary:
"watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack trough presstable..."
and then my heart stopped:
"listening to Cio-Cio San
fall in love all over again."
I'm a lot like you so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
(Chords are strummed at double time, not finger
like in the verses and chorus)
How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of (my heart)
How stupid is it? won't you gimme a minute
just come up to me and say "hello" to (my heart)
(Chords are now strummed at regular time )
How stupid is it? For all I know you want me too
And maybe you just don't know what to do
Or maybe you're scared to say: "I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cuz I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cuz I can't even look in your eyes Without shakin', and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon
I'm a lot like you so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
I'm a lot like you so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
