lyrics

baby i know its been a couple of days
ive fallin off track and i lost my way
but oh my my my my no it aint so bad

id be sleepin in the trash if i could sleep
my eyes have been blurry and my knees are weak
but oh my my my my no it aint so bad

i lost my girl and i feel so bad
shes the best bird that i ever had
since that day that she flew away
well i aint, no, i aint had much to say

been a hot minute since i seen you
i been dreamin of the things that we used to do
but oh my my my my no it aint so bad

baby dont ya call me on the telephone
try tell me how hard it is being alone
but oh my my my my no it aint so bad

(girl, since you left, things just aint been the same
i been staying up all night, going crazy every day
but when i stop to think about it... it aint so bad)

come on over baby, hey what do ya say
im sure its been hard just to stay away
but oh my my my my no it aint so bad

i know we already had our last dance
but could it be so bad to give me one more chance
well oh my my my my no it aint so bad

Reminded me of why I got into power pop all those years ago. But not the corny Beatles worshipping shit, the GOOD powerpop with some bite like the first Beat record and the Real Kids! Hope this isn't the only record they put out. But if they stop right here, they go out on top. Ben Brower
