I tried to sit down and write a little song like Johnny Mayer would
Something you might wanna show your friends
Something to make you feel so good
Then I mess it up start pouring out the details of our relationship
I start reminiscing, get drunk, get mad, start talking shit
I’m sorry, I always try to make it all about me
I could never find the beat, let alone the key
I’m sorry i didn’t mean to make it oh so hard
Forgive me for saying that your body was a junkyard
Your body is a junkyard
Tried to sit down and write a little song like Kenny Loggins would
Make you get right up out of that seat
Shake your ass just like you know you could
Then I mess it up, slow it down, and write a sad song
Get high and scream about you cheating, what could go wrong
I’m sorry I couldn’t see past the there and then
Here and now, I know I was mistaken
I’m sorry, I never meant to let you down
I just wanna see you cut loose, maybe tear up this town
“Cut loose, footloose, I’m alright, keep the fire, danger zone” - Kenny Loggins
