Beth

I met this girl at the grocery store
Standing there in aisle 4
She had a dog on a leash and
shades over her eyes
I turned to say hello but to my surprise
She looked right past me
And she asked me what my name was
so I told her Hey
I said My name was Spencer and I played the Soprano uke.
She said her name was Beth and this was her dog Luke
She said that she was visually impaired
That means she's blind
for those of you who care
Then she said she'd like to come back to my place
Then she tried to kiss me but she missed my face.
She's all I could ever ask a girl to be
She never sat around and watched TV
or whined for crap she she saw in magazines
Once we were a couple I think
But we were definitely in love
And that's where I wanna be
I loved her she loved me her dog loved
my knee
Having a blind girlfriend has its hardships
You should see the mess when she eats Chips and dip
Can't find my medicine when I'm not well
And playing hide and seek with her is boring as hell
But recently we had some troubles
I don't think she loves me anymore no no no
She said she is tired of me, tapping her shoulder and running
just for the cheap laugh I score now
I tell her look Beth it 's always fun
she says I know but I can't take this anymore Hon,
So she turned away and walked out my door
Took my love, inspiration and my 92 ford
oh
Oh no
okay
fine
She's all I could ever ask a girl to be
She never sat around and watched TV
or whined for crap she saw in magazines
Once we were a couple I think
But we were definitely in love
And that's where I wanna be
I loved her and she loved me and her dog loved
my knee
But when she left that day
She broke my heart
Took my car but I showed her
she left me standing in that cold morning fog
When she gets where she's going
She's going to realize That
I still have
Her dog
Yeah Beth..
You were all I could imagine you to be
You never sat around and watched TV
Or Whined for crap you saw in magazines
Once we were a couple I think
Once I was in love with you and that's all I'll ever be
Beth I'm sorry I never asked you to marry me.
Beth
You were the first thing
the last thing
the worst thing
the best thing
that ever happened to me
