lyrics

LYRICS:
The rent was short again this time
But my father brought a check right by
And he offered me some good advice
"just write some songs your girlfriend likes"

Your girlfriend likes

Sold his stock and bought some pills
To fill his lonely nights with thrills
But he texts me every single night
"Son, write some songs your girlfriend likes"

Your girlfriend likes

In the mornings I read Rimbaud
And trace the gravestones in charcoal
Oh I'd love to be your Billy Joel
Misery's the only thing I know

Whatever your girlfriend likes
