See, there's this hottie and she's dead in my sights, man.
The best way that I can, I start my proposal.
Before I'm finished, she's starting to laugh
And she's got to tell me what's in my nose.
Oh, oh, oh... Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
2 minutes later and I'm back from my business,
How can she resist? I know that she digs my cologne.
Wouldn't you know it, she's laughing again,
Now she thinks there's something I ought to close.
Oh, oh, oh... Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
I swear to god, I've had this problem as long as I can remember.
I'm a "Dork of the Year" contender.
Oh, oh, oh... Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
OK, I'll try to impress her with my massive intellect,
Then we can connect, I start my diatribe on Van Gogh.
She's looking bored saying, "Maybe next time,
you can tell me something I didn't know."
Oh, oh, oh... That's the way my life goes.
I swear to god, I've had this problem as long as I can remember.
I'm a "Dork of the Year" contender.
Oh, oh, oh... Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
Slow down, deep breath.
I'm terrified, but I'm moving in for a kiss when she says...
"Might I suggest a mint?"
Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
Yeah, that's the way my life goes.
