[Jack]
Well, hello again
[Katherine]
Please go away, I'm working
[Jack]
A smart girl, eh? Beautiful, smart, independent
I got no use for moonlight
Or sappy poetry
Love at first sight's for suckers
At least it used to be
Look, girls are nice, once or twice
Till I find someone new
But I never planned on someone like you
I got no use for moonlight
Or sappy poetry
Love at first sight's for suckers
At least it used to be
[Bowery Beauties]
Don't come a-knocking on my door
You aren't welcome here no more
I should have known you
Stunk like yesterday's trash
The night you stole my heart
Plus forty dollars in cash
Turns out my beau is just some bum
Turns out that love ain't blind, its dumb
You never told the truth or
Worked a day in your life
In fact, you're so revoltin'
I feel bad for your wife
I won't be shaving your back
Anymore, no señor
Don't come a-knocking on my door!
Don't come a-knocking on my door!
Don't come a-knocking on my door!
[Katherine]
What are you doing?
[Jack]
Quiet down, there's a show going on
[Katherine]
You are the most impossible boy
[Jack]
Shh!
[Katherine, whispering]
Ever!
[Jack]
No, I never planned on someone like you
