lyrics

I've seen all these girls on OkCupid before.
I saw one on the subway and I saw one at the store;
of their out of focus faces I am sure.

I've seen all these girls on OkCupid before.
Just yesterday, in Prospect Park, I saw one as she tore,
upon a prickly bush, the summer dress she wore.

I've seen all these girls on OkCupid before.
HappyKat aspires to the diplomatic corp;
she lives in my building, on the seventh floor.

I've seen all these girls on OkCupid before.
The Jewish girl who only is a Jew on Yom Kippur -
Of her type I have become a connoisseur.

I've seen all these girls on OkCupid before.
And some of them seem wealthy, but in love we all are poor.
How could this be what the internet is for?

Twice the other day, I saw a girl that I adored.
First I saw her on the subway, then I saw her at the store.
And I'm pretty sure she saw me looking sheepish and forlorn,
cause I was too afraid to say hello, and certain I would bore
her with my shallow conversation, and my lack of answers for
all of the questions she had answered on the easy online form.
I could not hold my head up anymore.

'Cause even though I'd written to her
and I was so smitten, who are
we to think, once bitten, she would trust
a real-life come-on anymore.

So, now I'm obligated to ignore
the pretty girl I'd seen on OkCupid before.
