Written by Kelly Jean, after one too many bad experiences with online dating. Recorded with Plaid Dog Recording and produced by Mike Davidson, this is the first single off her upcoming EP.
LYRICS:
Did you think that I would love you
Just because you’re accustomed to
Pretty women falling at your feet
Pretty women that’ll do anything
Did you think I’d sit there and listen
Nod my head and tell you that you’re f’n brilliant
But all the while I’m biting my tongue
To keep from saying
Oh, god you’re so dumb
Why do I waste my time
Why don’t I speak my mind
Why would I settle
For the bottom of the barrel
When I can have the best
I said it once
I’ll say it twice
I’m getting really good at goodbyes
When you said “check please”
I had never felt more relieved
I had to get away
From your predatory ways
Did you think I’d keep my distance
Using up all my resistance
To stay out of reach
To keep you from creeping in
Why do I waste my time
Why don’t I speak my mind
Why would I settle
For the bottom of the barrel
When I can have the best
I said it once
I’ll say it twice
I’m getting good at goodbyes
