lyrics

Gail came to pick me up in her new, little blue Jetta
With the windows and the sunroof shut, after a misty rain
She says she wants to take me out, for a drink and I better let her
Her love life’s in a drought, so I don’t complain

But I don’t feel right
I’m not the guy you thought you met that night
And I won’t be impolite
But I should say…
I’ll let you down along the way
I know I’ll disappoint you someday

Down Kent Road I saw my friends looking at me with the girl with blonde hair
But they all know how this will end, and they’re not wrong
You’re not my usual type, but you’re so real and these days that’s rare
So I know I shouldn’t gripe, yet, this won’t be for long

And I don’t feel good
You want to kiss me doesn’t mean I should
This must be understood
That I won’t stay…
I’ll let you down along the way
I know I’ll disappoint you someday
I’ll let you down along the way
It’s March, we’ll be done by May

Bridge:
I tend to do this to everyone
I hide my lack of ambition
I’m embarrassed of who I am
And maybe you don’t give a damn
But this all gives me pause
Because you look right through my flaws
And I don’t think that I deserve it

No, I don’t feel right
I’m not the same guy you met that night
And I won’t be impolite
But I need to say…
I’ll let you down along the way
I know I’ll disappoint you someday
I’ll let you down along the way
It’s March, we’ll be done by May

I’ll let you down…
Ooooohhhh…ooooohhhhh….oooohhhhhhhhhhh
