It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, it's obvious, your going nowhere...
She makes you tell her that she's your best friend
You tell her things you know won't make her mad
Don't want to be the one to say things are going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
It's hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, you're going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe I'll be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

Emily
[VERSE 1]
It wasn't supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk
Had sex with all your friends
You told me to never call your house again
[CHORUS]
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, when you threw me away
She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily
[VERSE 2]
You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I sure am glad you didn't want me anymore
[CHORUS]
She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily
Yeah
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved my ass
It wasn't supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk
Had sex with all your friends
You told me to never call your house again
[CHORUS]
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, when you threw me away
She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily
[VERSE 2]
You got your money and I got cast

Yeah

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved my ass

Girl All The Bad Guys Want
8 o'clock Monday night and I'm waiting
To fonally talk to a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Nona she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a 2-way,but I'm not quite sure what that means
And when she walks, all the wind blows and the angels sing
But she doesn't notice me
`Cause she's wathcing wrestling
Creaming over tough guys
Listening to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie; she's lopoking through me, if you were me you'd be
Screaming, "someone shoot me," as I fail miserably,
Trying to get the girl all the GIRL ALL THE BAD GUYS WANT....
She likes Godsmack and I like Agent Orange
Her CD changer's full of singers mad at their dad
She said she'd like to score some reefer and a 40
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll ever have
She likes them with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Driving in a Trans AM
Does a mullet make a man?
Now I'm watching wrestling
Trying to be a tough guy
Listening to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a mustache and I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped
To fonally talk to a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Nona she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a 2-way,but I'm not quite sure what that means
And when she walks, all the wind blows and the angels sing
But she doesn't notice me
`Cause she's wathcing wrestling

On and On (About You)
I'm happy again to be stuck here again
And you're so happy again to be stuck here again
Now we can rap about "the good old days"
Laugh at dumb jokes that you make
It's great to be here and
I'm just elated to be someone you once hated
And its all so complicated
Maybe this time you can come outside your little world
Make out with another girl
If it were up to me
I'd like to buy you flowers everyday
Make everyday a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you and the things you do
The things you do
I'm so sorry again you say you're leaving me again
'Cause you're not happy again
And I'm left stuck here again
Now you can scream about the little things
Slap me twice across the face
Man it would be great if I could
I'd like to buy you flowers everyday
Make everyday a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you and the things you do
The things you do
I'd like to buy you flowers everyday
Make everyday a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you and the things you do
The things you do
Quisiera comprarle que las flores diarias
Hacen diario un día de fiesta
Continuar why en why en alrededor usted

Surf Colorado
I saw you there
Your long brown hair
Falling on your face the way it used to fall on mine
At one time
A long time ago
I still remember everything you said to me that night
It's too bad and it's too late
You were such a big mistake
Please don't call here anymore
I used to miss you
[Chorus]
There's no surfin Colorado anyway
And it's a shame to hear you're happy and you still look at me that way
There's no surfin Colorado anyway, yeah
She never waved to me or said "good Bye"
One night she just left me and her behind
There she goes
And no one knows
What she does to my heart, still, she'll never know
How we speak
Across the room
Eye to eye she's holding him, holding me soon
It's too bad and it's too late
Was it such a big mistake?
You don't call me anymore
And I still miss you
[Chorus]
Remember the first time
God Damn we got so high
She held me so close that I thought that I might break
And know she's a mile high
And I'm on Texas time
She traded rattlesnakes for bunny runs in Colorado Springs
[Chorus]
Your long brown hair
Falling on your face the way it used to fall on mine
At one time
A long time ago
I still remember everything you said to me that night
It's too bad and it's too late
You were such a big mistake
Please don't call here anymore

Life After Lisa
I'm waking up and bakin'
Watching the parade cause today's the day I got over you
Taking out the trash and the pictures that I stashed
Of the two of us in 1992
You stole my heart when Eddie Veder was king
I gave you a foot massage I gave you my ring
You left me for a drummer cause you said I couldn't sing
But, That's ok
[CHORUS]
Cause there'll be
No more mountain climbing in the rain
No more Long hair clogging up the drain
No more Life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all
Saw you with the dude who gave us our first tattoos
Did he cover up my name that was fast
Can you believe that I'm alive, still not working 9 to 5
And my little band is kicking some ass
So when you asked me if I hated you now
It's not you it's just all of the times I missed out
On sleeping with your roommate every time you passed out
But, That's ok
[CHORUS]
I'll bet you're saying to yourself that you'll find somebody else like me
But all I've gotta say is there ain't no f*cking way that you're getting me to say
I'm sorry..........No today!!!
[CHORUS]
Cleaning up the house again
Listening to House Of Pain
Having headaches in my brain
Listening to you complain
Shopping at the mall again
I'm out of rhymes I've gotta say
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all!!!!

Where To Begin
Sail away, sail away with me
I don't have a ship
But we could get one easily
Drift away, drift away with me
On the raft we'll make of memories
On an ocean we can call forever more
[Pre chorus:]
I want to find
A piece of your mind
I want to see
Your make believe
I don't want to try so hard
I make it hard for you to breathe
[Chorus:]
Jump into the ocean
Living on a notion
If you're caught up in the motion
Back track and do it again
And if you make it up
I could never get enough
Me and you together
But you've gotta tell me where to begin
Break away, break away from me
No forget that, just sit here and look at me
Summer's day
Summer every day
And we watch the sunset come back up
And somehow know it never goes back down
[Pre chorus]
[Chorus]
I've been saving up to buy more time with you
You've been living it up with someone else
And that's okay with me
Because I know it and you know it too
[Chorus]
I don't have a ship
But we could get one easily
Drift away, drift away with me
On the raft we'll make of memories

The Last Rock Show
Yeah!
Stand in line behind me
We've got tons of time to
Let it all hang out
And cast the demons out.
Once we're in the roof falls
I heard that we have got to raise it up
And let the f*cker burn.
And this is sure to take awhile
But if we're going out, we're goin' out with style
So we all jump around, and we fall to the ground
Like it's the last rock show of our lives.
Stand in line behind me
We've got tons of time to
Let it all hang out
And cast the demons out.

Self-Centered
I got it stuck in a bind
I don't even know why
It sucks to even try
But I won't try anymore
She took the afternoon train
To find a different plane
But life down the drain
Better than being ignored
[Pre Chorus:]
I think I'm taking a vacation now
I'm on holiday and maybe I won't rest
Until I've thrown it all away
I've got it down
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna feel sorry for myself
I want to blame it on everyone else
I want to be self centered
And make everybody feel sorry for me
She sent a postcard again
She said she had a new friend
I hope that by the end
He throws her heart to the floor
She says he's really ok
I really hope that he's gay
It's not a nice thing to say
But I don't care anymore
[Bridge:]
My leg fell asleep
Cause you laid on it
There's no reason to dwell on it
It's just not worth it
Remember a year ago
When we played in the show
Now get outta my head
I don't even know why
It sucks to even try
But I won't try anymore
She took the afternoon train
To find a different plane
But life down the drain
Better than being ignored
[Pre Chorus:]
I think I'm taking a vacation now
I'm on holiday and maybe I won't rest
Until I've thrown it all away
I've got it down

I want to be self centered
And make everybody feel sorry for me

The Hard Way
I'm moving in
She's moving out to Los Angeles
She's got a truck; she's got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her TV
She says she needs some therapy
[Chorus:]
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now it's 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way
She calls me up
She's breaking down
In Los Angeles
She misses home
She's all alone
She can't handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
You're brand new nose & bigger boobs
Don't change a thing
You need some therapy
I think you need some help
[Chorus]
She's got a lot to figure out
She's got a lot to think about
She's got a lot to forget about
She's got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me
[Chorus]
She's moving out to Los Angeles
She's got a truck; she's got my stuff

Out The Window
You said to never ever come back
I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But I've got solutions in my head
[Chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But I've got solutions in my head.
[Chorus]
You said it's over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You don't even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all I've got left is my sanity
Now all I've got left is my sanity
And I'm not sure how far it goes.
I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But I've got solutions in my head
[Chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass

Cold Shower Tuesdays
Her finger traced I love you
In the palm of my hand
That's still the only time
My belly's ever hit the floor like that
Your feet in my lap
We drove the past
Knowing we would turn around again
[Chorus:]
Tell her I'm not sorry
Mention my Ferrari
Just don't tell her that
I miss her
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about
Remember how our hands matched
Love lines, same size
I guess I should have checked
To the lifelines were in line
I called on the phone
You still felt alone
And talked about the songs that made you cry
[Chorus]
Campfire cookies
And John Hughes movies
Jr. mints & cold shower Tuesdays
November shivers and rearview mirrors
And the little things like that
[Chorus]
In the palm of my hand
That's still the only time
My belly's ever hit the floor like that
Your feet in my lap
We drove the past
Knowing we would turn around again
[Chorus:]
Tell her I'm not sorry
Mention my Ferrari
Just don't tell her that
I miss her
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about
Remember how our hands matched
Love lines, same size
I guess I should have checked

Running From Your Dad
Remember the summer time we were swinging
On the front porch out in the rain
It was Sunday you were all dressed up again
Then we made out under the window pain
[Chorus]
And I can still see your dad
Running after me with a shovel in his hand
I don't remember much after that
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...
Remember on Christmas Eve you were crying
I guess you didn't really like the gifts
Porno DVDs and see thru under wear
I should have saved all that for your sis
[Chorus]
So I guess I'll just run away, run away, run away
He's starting to catch up
Run away, run away
I think I might throw up
Run away, run away
[Chorus]
On the front porch out in the rain
It was Sunday you were all dressed up again
Then we made out under the window pain
[Chorus]
And I can still see your dad
Running after me with a shovel in his hand
I don't remember much after that
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...

Scaring Myself
She slams the front door
Cuz she knows that I can't stand it
Gives me the finger
Cuz she knows I'm wrapped around it.
She calls me sweetheart
Cuz she knows it makes me weak.
She stepped in dog pooh
And I'm still kissing her feet.
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[Chorus:]
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
And if she comes home,
I hope that she'll marry me.
I want to tell her that it's over now
Hey look, I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend
Is bad for my mental health
And now I'm scaring myself.
The roller coaster makes me sick and she knows it.
That's why she always insists that I go on it
She told my friends that I need therapy
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[Chorus]
I'm waking up
I'm getting out.
[Chorus]
Cuz she knows that I can't stand it
Gives me the finger
Cuz she knows I'm wrapped around it.
She calls me sweetheart
Cuz she knows it makes me weak.
She stepped in dog pooh
And I'm still kissing her feet.
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[Chorus:]
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
And if she comes home,
I hope that she'll marry me.

And now I'm scaring myself.

She's Got a Boyfriend
She used to be the happiest girl I knew
I remember seeing her laugh
I remember the time she cried
When tears filled her eyes
As we sang 'Love Song' by Tesla
Her smile is turning upside down
She's got a boyfriend now
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now
She always knew she'd find the right guy
To hold her through the night
Someone she'd take to meet her mom
And take her to see Brittany Spears
Who knows if Clark Kent is a Superman?
Or if he's just an asshole
Leading on and on
And on and on
And on
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now
Why does it always seem to be
Guys like that always get to be the one
She thinks the world of
And why does it always seem to me
That girls like that can't ever find someone
Someone like me
And its hard to know the difference between inside and out
When she asks if I can mend her broken heart
I wouldn't know where to start.
She got what she always wanted
She got what she always wanted
And now
She's only crying on the inside
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now
I remember seeing her laugh
I remember the time she cried
When tears filled her eyes
As we sang 'Love Song' by Tesla
Her smile is turning upside down
She's got a boyfriend now
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now
She always knew she'd find the right guy
To hold her through the night
Someone she'd take to meet her mom
And take her to see Brittany Spears
Who knows if Clark Kent is a Superman?
Or if he's just an asshole
Leading on and on
And on and on
And on
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow

Why does it always seem to be

She got what she always wanted

The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She'll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
'cause it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now

Greatest Day
[VERSE 1:]
I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go
[BRIDGE:]
The sun is shining down and
There is no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day
[CHORUS:]
How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try
Just to hear everybody say
This is gonna be my greatest day
[VERSE 2:]
Standing here, looking out on the world
And for a second nobody is looking back at me
I never even notice where they go
I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go
[BRIDGE:]
The sun is shining down and
There is no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day
[CHORUS:]
How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try

Standing here, looking out on the world
And for a second nobody is looking back at me
I never even notice where they go

Lately i feel so small
or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before,
but you were there so how was i to know
That this single bed was always meant for two
Not just anyone, it was meant for me and you
And now you're halfway around the world,
and i'm just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole that i have
since ya left my sight
You'll always be my little girl
Though i can't hold you tonight
And now you're halfway around the world,
and i'm just a day behind
I wake up in the night, i turn around find that you're not there
Just like to watch you sleep, lay by you i love to feel you near
maybe i'm goin crazy
everyday, confusion starts to grow
Never noticed it before, but you were there so how was i to know
That this single bed was always meant for two
Not just anyone, it was meant for me and you
And now you're halfway around the world,
and i'm just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole that i have
since ya left my sight
You'll always be my little girl
Though i can't hold you tonight
And now you're halfway around the world,
and i'm just a day behind
Lately i feel so small,
or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before,

Drunk Enough to Dance is the fourth studio album and second major label album by American rock band Bowling for Soup. It was recorded from 2001 to 2002 at Tree Sound Studios and Sonica Recording in Atlanta and Big Time Audio in Dallas.
After a UK, Canada and midwest U.S. tour to promote their album "Let's Do It for Johnny!", the band ventured out to film the new Britney Spears film Crossroads. After filming, they would head to Atlanta in October 2001 to record their next new album. The album was produced by Butch Walker, formerly of Marvelous 3.
In a newsletter from the band on January 9, 2002, Reddick said they "recorded 14 songs and that the album would contain a bonus track "Greatest Day"... and hopefully a song or two that Butch and I write next month... the import will have three more song that we did here in Dallas last month."
