Lyrics

Met a girl, introduced myself, yeah
I asked her go to with me and no one else
And she said, "(I'd really like to see you every day), yeah
(But I'm afraid of what my friends might say)"
"(You need a bath and your clothes are wrong), yeah
(You're not my type, I can tell we wouldn't get along)"
I just laughed, what else could I do, well?
Just then her friend chimed in, singin', "Get a clue"
"Get a life, put it in your song
(Put in your song)
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue
I'd had enough, I couldn't take it anymore, yeah (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
So I turned and I ran straight for the door (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
Bought some mags on my way home (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
For later on, you know, when I'm all alone (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
A bottle of wine and some cigarettes (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
A racing form, maybe, maybe I'll make some bets (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
I know a guy, lives in Los Angeles (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
I'd like to move out of this place (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Should change my name, get a new face (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
Get a life, put it in my song
(Put in my song)
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue
I'd like to move out of this place (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Should change my name, maybe get a new face (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
Sleep all day, stay up all night, yeah (Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Everybody I meet thinks I'm alright (Ahh ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh)
Get a life
