Song Description

"A jazzy little number about an unsuitable boy who, despite living with his mother, voting Republican and possessing a complete lack of intellect, redeems himself for a short-term fling through his nice car, polite manners and ability to look nice for photographs. Kaelin?s voice sells the song ? instead of appearing shallow, she comes off a little surprised at the situation, knowing she should be a bit embarrassed but unable to stop herself from 'thinking of my own needs' just this once." - New Southerner Magazine

Lyrics

I've got a new boy, I gotta tell you about
He's not my type at all
He's nothing like any of the others i've had
but i'm having myself a ball

It's time i had a little something different
tryin' to find a whole new theme
it probably won't last, so i'm moving fast
he's my future mr. used-to-be

He's my future Mr. used-to-be
it's time i started thinking about me
so his smile is sweet, but more than that
we look great together in photographs
and he's just my future mr. used-to-be

He ain't that smart, but i don't care
he's got really really really really really great hair
he's got a good car, never shows up late
brings me flowers just about every day
so he don't have a job, and he lives with his mum
but he works out everyday, you gotta see his bum!
for once let me think of my ow needs
and my future mr- used-to-be

he's my future mr- used-to-be
it's time i started thinking about me
so he's nice to me, genuine
okay, so he's republican
but he's just my future mr. used-to-be

(solo)

he's my future mr. used-to-be
it's time i started thinking about me
so he's weak of mind, but his body's strong
and it's not like he'll be around that long
'cause he's just my future mr. used-to-be
