[Verse 1]
8 o'clock, Monday night, and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a two-way, but I'm not quite sure what that means
[Pre-Chorus]
And when she walks
All the wind blows and the angels sing
But she doesn't notice me
[Chorus]
'Cause she's watchin' wrestlin', creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal, turntables in her eyes
It's like a bad movie, she's lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be screamin', "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably, tryna get the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
[Verse 2]
She likes the Godsmack and I like Agent Orange
Her CD changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have
[Pre-Chorus]
And when she walks
All the wind blows and the angels sing
She'll never notice me
[Chorus]
'Cause she's watchin' wrestlin', creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal, turntables in her eyes
She likes 'em with a mustache, racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am, does a mullet make a man?
It's like a bad movie, she's lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be screamin', "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably tryna get the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
[Bridge]
There she goes again with fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!
[Chorus]
Now I'm watchin' wrestlin', tryna be a tough guy
Listenin' 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 (Moped, moped)
It's like a bad movie, she's lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be screamin', "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably tryna get the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want (There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want (There she goes again)
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
'Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
