Jerks

She'd almost not gone out that night

I'd spent the day in bed

But somehow she was convinced

By a work friend's

Right

And wasn't his name

Charlie

Yes he knew about some backyard party

I was in the band

You had a nasty smoking habit back then

But you sort of liked that

Sure, but I was into jerks like you

I was lost

You were trying to be someone you're not

I was free

And in every reflection he caught

Someone that he did not want to see

So Charlie introduced us

He walked you up to me

No, he walked you up to me

What? No

Yes

No

Yes just trust me

Fine

I was hoping for a New York kind of night

We were in LA

So we took his car to mine

And we kissed at every stoplight

On Beverly Boulevard

It was Alvarado

I'd never take that route home

What's the difference?

There is a difference

We ran to the door and kissed under the moon

You were shy

I was nervous and trembling inside

It was sweet

I couldn't have left if I tried

And we talked until the morning stole the night

Then it got a little bumpy

That's a funny way to say you dumped me

I just needed space

Space to date that girl with the legs

What was her name?

Sadie

We ran into you at that movie

And I got up to leave

But I caught you by the bathrooms

So I had to ask you

He always had to make a scene

He got down on his knees and asked me

What did I ask you?

Are you still into jerks like me

Jerks like me

Jerks like me
