The Perpetual Bachelor

Well I never been lucky at picking up girls,

But I guess you could say that I know what I like.

And every rejection confirms my perception,

I’m another step closer to the one that’ll bite.

I need to improve if I don’t want to lose,

Each chance that I get keeps rolling on by.

The perpetual bachelor, known for his valour,

Rides shotgun for loneliness, hurting inside.

There’s a waitress in Texas, she knows my name,

And she brings me my breakfast with a spark in her eye.

If I had the courage I would not have worried,

I’d have asked her to dinner but I just said goodbye.

I need to improve if I don’t want to lose,

Each chance that I get keeps rolling on by.

The perpetual bachelor, known for his valour,

Rides shotgun for loneliness, hurting inside.

I went back to the diner ‘cause I wanted to find her,

And tell her that she had the most beautiful face.

I sat down at the table from where I was able,

To see her with the fry-cook in a lovers embrace.

I need to improve if I don’t want to lose,

Each chance that I get keeps rolling on by.

The perpetual bachelor, known for his valour,

Rides shotgun for loneliness, hurting inside.
