oh darelene,
you are sharp as a razor and
sweet as the peach from the tree
but oh my darlene
I should question your judgement cuz you could
do so much better than me
you had a 4.0
I had a one and half
they think you're beautiful
I look like I crawled out of the trash
you've got money and influence
I need your help just to pay the rent
you know I admire you but what do you see?
in a loser like me?
your ex-boyfriend's a best-selling author
I'm unemployed but I'm sure I'll get an offer
your dad thinks you could do so much better than me
I can't say I disagree
I'm 26 I don't have my shit together
and we both know it's not getting any better oh
this begs the question, what do you see?
In a loser like me?
your best friend's a stock broker in dubai
mine's a dishwasher who sells coke on the side I keep
looking for the reason that you're with me
some kind of niche interest or it's pity?
I don't have many friends at all
I can't dance and I'm not very (too) tall
this begs the question what do you see?
in a loser like me?
you've got so much potential baby why can't you see?
why would you waste it on a sad sack like me?
baby I'm not complaining but it just don't add up
my darlene I cannot believe my luck
