Lyrics
PICKING THRU THE PROFILES, THIS GUY LEAPT OFF THE SCREEN
TALL AND DARK NEAR CENTRAL PARK, I COULDN'T FAULT ONE GENE
WE SOON WERE SWAPPING EMAILS, HE SEEMED SO DEBONAIR
SOON I HAD CONVINCED MYSELF, THIS ONE MIGHT JUST CARE
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, PLYING THEIR WARES,
HOPE MEETS DECEPTION, CUPID DESPAIRS
IT CAME TO OUR FIRST PHONE CALL, HIS VOICE MADE ME MELT,
WITTY WITHOUT ARROGANCE, ON EVERY WORD I DWELT,
HE TOLD ME HE'D BEEN SINGLE FOR JUST ABOUT A YEAR,
THAT'S HE'S READY TO COMMIT, IT ALL SEEMED SO SINCERE
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, PROFILES ON SHOW,
FLATTERING PHOTOS, SHOT LONG AGO
SOON MY FIRST DATE BECKONED, I GOT IN SUCH A STATE
THE BAR WAS CALLED THE LOVER'S LAIR, SO I THOUGHT 'THIS IS FATE'
SOLOS
THE MOMENT THAT HE SHOWED UP, I FELT PART OF A STING
THIS OLDER, BALD GUY WANDERED IN, WITH HIS WEDDING RING
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, WITH EACH LOG ON,
IT JUST CONFIRMS THE GOOD ONES HAVE GONE!!
