So the say, when trying to meet someone You should just not try to meet someone if you know what I mean So I tried not to look desperate at the Sound Of Music sing-a-long Clutching my curtain costume and my lyric sheet You know I wanted some summer lovin' And I wanted to be cool But the fact is I was checkin' everybody out Thinking maybe at the sing-a-long Sound Of Music Oh God Kate, stop kidding yourself But I was dressed as Liesel, he was dressed as Rolf And our eyes locked across the sea of people When we finally got to speak he told me he likes Annie second best And he likes all the same songs as me Oh woah woah Why do I always go for the gay guys You'd think by now I'd get some savvy When God gave us gaydars She forgot about me I end up settlin' Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it Who could it Who could it be? Anyway That guy I didn't know his orientation And neither did he, well he didn't know it yet So he asked me out and I said yes I guess everything was perfect Well, come to think of it His friend would come on all of our dates Insisted on sitting in the front seat so he could look in the mirror My lover was a bigger prima donna than me With better hair, better shoes, better nails
And some other stuff well let's just leave that there Let's face it I can't see the appeal of a real man Someone who I can count on, to program the video and change my towels The truth is my idea of s**y Is a guy who knows the words to Climb Every Mountain Why do I always go for the gay guys Oh what a hard-knock life for me My stength is flailing in all directions The wondertwin is failing me Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it Who could it Who could it be? Anyway One night I came out and asked him He said he wasn't gay, he was just as**ual And I said "well what a relief" "Well honey that's just great" "I'm so glad we finally worked things out" So my ex-boyfriend and I, we made a pact If we-re still single when we're old and don't need s** anymore We'll move in together and maybe get married And go see all the musicals Maybe this time I'll get lucky And feel that one, singular sensation again Oh wouldn't it be lovely If we're people who need people Together, come what may We'll be thinking happy thoughts and talk about things we like to do Happy (Why do I always go for the gay guys) (Why do I always go for the gay guys) (Why do I always go for the gay guys)
