Met a girl, introduced myself I asked her go to with me and no one else And she said "I'd really like to see you everyday But I'm afraid of what my friends might say You need a bath, and your clothes are wrong You're not my type; I can tell we wouldn't get along." I just laughed â€" what else could I do? Just then her friends chimed in, singin' "Get a clue. Get a life, put it in your song." (Put it in your song) There's something I've been meaning to say to you There's something I've been meaning to say to you I'd had enough, couldn't take it anymore, yeah So I turned and I ran straight for the door Bought some mags on my way home For later on, you know, when I'm all alone Bottle of wine and some cigarettes Watch TV and go to bed I know a guy lives in Los Angeles Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous I'd have a life, put it in my song (Put it in your song) There's something I've been meaning to say to you There's something I've been meaning to say to you I'd like to move out of this place Change my name, maybe get a new face Sleep all day, stay up all night Everybody I meet thinks I'm alright I'd have a life, put it in my song (Put it in your song) There's something I've been meaning to say to you There's something I've been meaning to say to you There's something I've been meaning to say to you There's something I've been meaning to say to you
