Lyrics
------

Yeah my girlfriend
Takes me home when i'm too drunk to drive
And she doesn't get all jealous
When i hang out with the guys
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no-one does
She brings me mexican food from sombrero just because

And my girlfriend likes ul and dhc
Shes so smart and independent i dont think that she needs me
Quite half as much as i know i need her
I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

And when i feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 a.m.
She's still up watching Vacation
And i see her pretty face
It takes me away to another place

And i know that everything's gonna be fine

And my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road
And it doesn't seem to matter that i'm lacking in the bulge.
