**Can’t you see? Oh, can’t you see

**…are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?**

Yes SIR! I spent 2 summers interning in my field and I already showed you this letter of recommendation from my previous employer here…

Sure, Lenny. Hop in. I’ll drop you at the MARTA station on my way home.

**I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder why, why why why why why she ran away?**  
‘Cuz she discovered you really _were_ overcompensating for something with that bigass 4x4 truck. And you’re fuckin’ ugly.

**If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can’t I paint you?**  
Because you’re a singer, not a painter.

**Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn’t right here?**  
Well, Britney, hon, when you felt that breeze blow up your skirt, that should have been your first clue that you’d forgotten something.

It was a fool!  
A slobbering fool with a speech defect and a shaking hand!  
And he wrote my name  
Next to yours  
But it should have been David Byrne or somebody…_

I am embarrassed and may have to change my user name now.

**Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?**

Well, all she wanted was to have some fun.

**How could she do this to me?**

She has her own life to live?
