"(Intro)" lyrics
"(Intro)"
For all the bachelors out there tonight
Yeah. For anybody who's ever whistled this song
Maybe you whistled it, but you lost the sheet music
Um...this is—um...actually, I don't mind going to weddings or anything
As long as it's not my own, I show up
But I've always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking myself out. You know?
Oh, yeah. You call yourself up too, huh?
Yeah. Well, one thing about it: you're always around
Yeah. I know. Yeah. You ask yourself out. You know
Some class joint somewhere
The Burrito King or something, you know
Well, I ain't cheap, you know
Take yourself out for a couple of drinks maybe
Then there'd be some provocative conversation on the way home
And park in front of the house, you know
Oh, yeah. You smoothly put a little nice music on
Maybe you put on like uh, you know, like shopping music
Something that's not too interruptive, you know
And then uh slide over real nice and say
'Oh I think you have something in your eye'
Well, maybe it's not that romantic with you, but Christ
I don't know, you know I get into it, you know
Take myself up to the porch, take myself inside or maybe uh
Or may get a little something in a brandy snifter or something
'Would like you like to listen to some of my back records?
I got something here'
Well, usually about 2:30 in the morning you've ended up taking advantage of yourself
There ain't no way around that, you know
Yeah. Making a scene with a magazine, there ain't no way around
I'll confess you know, I'm no different, you know
I'm not weird about it or anything, I don't tie myself up first
I just kinda spend a little time with myself
So this is kind of a little anthem here

Leanin' on the back door
A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
Their eyes was statin'
They was waitin'
To get their hands on some easy money
They flipped a dime
