Lyrics

well, i seen you sittin' over across the bar,
sippin' on a beer and swiggin' from a jar.
but it's gettin' late: you're the candidate.

you ain't too pretty; i can deal with that.
and your hair's so shitty i'll have to buy you a hat.
but hats are cheap, and beauty's just skin deep.

but i can see the whole world in your eyes.
and i can tell that half the world's been between your thighs,
or they would've been, if you could've squeezed 'em in.

but i don't cast judgments on no one else.
i got too many judgments I pass on myself.
I ain't lookin' askance; i'm just lookin' for a chance
to find an uncommon romance.

i ain't quite handsome, but i'm sorta cute
if you squint real hard and think of a substitute.
and i can move right in, if you're ready to spin.

i bet i got a great future, 'cause my past is a joke.
but at least all my illusions went up in smoke.
before the roof fell in, i swear i was due for a win.

and i'll bet you must've noticed where your own life went wrong.
maybe you let yourself get weak, when you should've stayed strong.
or in a fit of arrogance, you let go of the chance
to find an uncommon romance.

so whatcha say, lady? i'm puttin' you on the spot.
it ain't the nicest place. but it's the one we got
to turn wrong into right. and we can start tonight.

i'd tell you how i saved all my best love for you,
but if told you that, who knows if it'd be true?
so i'll just tell you this: your lips were made to kiss.

so if you're still lookin' for something in someone's eyes,
i'll hope you'll see it in mine, and find a sweet surprise:
i ain't just lookin' to get into your pants,
but into your heart, then advance into an uncommon romance.
