there's nothing wrong with me

I wish (there’s nothing wrong with me)


Its nothing really
I won’t get all touchy feely

Ok I lied,
so here I go,
don’t act so snide

I lay here so sad and all alone
A line you’ve heard a million times
Its just my own life I’ve blown

My dad wonders why haven’t had a date
I do too, but I started much too late
The girls I ask won’t take the bait
Everything I say and do are ways to compensate
Now I accept the bitter fate

Was I dealt some cruel hand by God?
To live as an ugly boyish clod?

Yes I’m being that pathetic
But I’m a human after all
Aren’t we entitled at least to speak?
And to believe our problems are unique?

So here I go
Its all been done before
But that makes it hurt all the more
That my life is such a bore

Least of all do I want your pity
That my life turned out so shitty
I’m not content to stay on the shelf
And I just want a way to express myself

here with my open empty arms
Dreaming of girlish charms
While she scorns me bemused and laughing
What comes natural is to me so very baffling

Friends are so very magnetic
Their loves are quite energetic
Sometimes they get burned
But at least they’ve not been totally spurned

To find the one who loves me so
Sounds pretty sappy that I know
But deep down we all wish to know, that preordained from up above
there’s a person who fits us hand in glove
bet you thought I’d rhyme that line with “love”

The evil part of me pounds its fist
Yelling that she does not exist
You have to make her see you so
And that is hard for me to do
Just as easy as it is for you

Lets give the knife another twist
Look at me the liar optimist

Theres nothing that’s so wrong with me
The girl of my dreams they say
a happy future I don’t see.
waits just around the corner

wait, just now I felt her body so
to touch and hold her close
I know that she loves me back
Yet so hopeless it would rightly seem
Oh . . . that’s right, I’m in another’s dream

I sit here on a midnight dreary
Why am I so weak and weary
What a cliché that my life is empty
but still my eyes are blurred and teary

I ask you is something wrong with me?
A defect that I just can’t see
Why have I never felt a kiss
I can’t live my life like this

The bottle will my soul absorb
as I seek refuge from my fate
I talked to her the other day
Why did I have to hesitate?

I know there’s something wrong with me
Somewhere in my mind’s construction
Lays the reason for my life’s destruction
Just a sheltered backward damaged boy
Robbed in life of its greatest joy

Just one girl could fix it all
but how could one in the milling throng
live up to the fantasy in this song?
I would give my all in all
To have her innocently lying here with me and
You would all plainly see that there’s nothing at all wrong with me

What an ordinary plight
Why don’t I give up and leave these lyrics
To let Foreigner vibrate in the atmospherics
I’m hot blooded check it and see
I don’t want ten thousand girls
I just want one that just wants me.
