      C#           G#            C#
Well, Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
G#                 C#
Do it to me every time
        G#                 C#
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
G#             C#  D#
And I'm jello, baby
     G#                    C#
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
G#                 C#
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

Chorus:
G#     C#      G#      C#        G#
I'm a lot like you so please Hello,
     C#        G# D#
I'm here, I'm waiting
G#     C#      G#        C#       G#
I think I'd be good for you and you'd
    C#       G# D#
be good for me

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them (How cool is that?)
How cool is that? So I went to your room
And read your diary
"Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table"
And then my heart stopped, "Listening to Cio-Cio San
Fall in love all over again" (Ow)

Chorus:
I'm a lot like you, so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting (Oh, what could it be now?)
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

     G#                    C#
How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
         A#m                      D#
I gotta sing about it and make a record of (my heart)
     G#                      C#
How stupid is it? won't you gimme a minute
      A#m               D#
just come up to me and say "hello" to (my heart)

     G#               C#              A#m
How stupid is it? For all I know you want me too
    D#                         G#
And maybe you just don't know what to do
   C#            A#m         D#
Or maybe you're scared to say: "I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cause I can't even look in your eyes
Without shaking and I ain't faking
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon

Chorus - x2
