Loudon Wainwright Iii - I Can't Stand Myself lyrics

I sure can pick 'em Out looking for my next victim Who will that unlucky one be? Oh there's lots shaking No they're not all taken There's someone out there Just imperfect for me There must be some kind of waitress I could lure under my mattress If I ply her with chitchat and wine How's about a rich heiress Or a nice ma**age therapist I could use some hands-on treatment all of the time I'm done with you, finally we're through The whole thing was all wrong At last I'm free, I'm back with me But that won't be for long I can't stand myself Yeah I'm bar hopping I'm out girlfriend shopping I'm trying to find somebody to bring home To meet my dear sweet mother She's thinking oh no here comes another one But she knows I just can't leave it alone I got this sneaking suspicion It's more than just a little like fishing You bait up your hook And then you throw out your line Yeah I'm out beating the bushes Scoping out smiles, checking out tushes I'm out on the lookout just about all of the time We both tried nobody died But I feel damned near dead I miss you but I'm really blue Cause I'm back with me instead I can't stand myself I sure can pick em I'm looking for my next victim Who will that unlucky one be?
