Asked You First lyrics

Asked you First
Ani DiFranco

Things can't get much weirder
This can't get much worse
I don't know why you wouldn't kiss me,
But it's a good thing I asked you first

You were a big strapping boy with a boner,
Yeah, I felt it when we hugged goodbye
You gave me a evening I'll never forget,
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try

You were just mister flirtatious,
All night, just working that ass.
You know its uncool to bring it to school,
If you don't want to share with the class

Now, I am just mrs. embarressed,
Yeah, I feel like a dirty old man,
Got my eye on a guy, just moved out of mom's house,
Got his pretty head stuck in the sand

You've earned a place in my memory,
By being the one who said no
Where are my fuckin car keys,
I think I should go

Surprise, surprise I know you miss me
Now that I am not in your face
Surprise, surprise now your calling me,
Now that you feel safe
Gee, maybe I could be your prom date
We could do us a stiff little dance,
Except this ain't high school, baby,
And you had your chance,
you had your chance

Yeah, you've earned yourself a place in my memory,
By being the one who said no
Oh look, car keys... Bye!
