"Anyone Who'll Take Me"

Written July 30, 2005

Girl I ain’t foolin’ nobody
We both been here a long time
I’m just lookin’ for someone
Whose baggage goes well with mine
I ain’t lookin’ for Miss Perfect
This ain’t high school no more
All I got left to choose from
Are burnouts, alikies, and whores
I don’t know which one you are
Maybe you are all three
But right now I’m so fed up
| I’ll take anyone who’ll take me

Yeah I know you got three children
You got eleven tattoos
You also got a brain and a heartbeat
I’m getting too old to pick and choose
I sat around and I waited
The girl of my dreams never came
Actually she did 2 or 3 times – I blew it
Got only myself to blame
God’s punishing me for being so selfish
Time to learn some humility
And right now I’m so beat down
I’ll take anyone who’ll take me

There’s a movie playing downtown
About a virgin who’s 40 years old
For all I know I’m that nerd in the poster
About whom the story is told
The one who waited for someone right
And ended up with everyone wrong
Tickets are only three dollars apiece
Maybe we can take your kids along
Maybe I should quit being such a stiff
And stop taking this so seriously
Have some fun for once
And take anyone who’ll take me
Accept reality
And take anyone who’ll take me
