So Few
There now,
I've said it, love
So few
come and don't go
Will you, won't you
be the one I'll always know
Lyrics from the song, "Look After You"
by The Fray
It was just another ordinary day,
nothing special was going on
I was sunbathing on a park bench at the beach,
just summering my life away
Watching the birds,
feeling the cool spray of the ocean's kiss
If I had to check out early,
drinking fruit smoothies
and listening to some Al Jarreau
ain't such a bad way to go
Women walking past
looking fine, looking tan
Waving and smiling at this happy-go-lucky bohemian man
So many searching ... so few available
How will you know when they're the right one,
will you know because your friend told you so
So many available ... so few measure up
Aren't you tired of taking home strays;
laying down getting fleas, ain't you had enough
If you got to know me,
maybe ... possibly ...
there might be
enough compatibility
We'll see
Because there are so many searching ... so few available
Maybe it ain't love that you're really looking for
So many are available ... but so few measure up
Maybe love is optional with a good prenup
The summer days are winding down,
with only so few more opportunities
Now don't take too long looking ladies,
this might be the last time I'm single and free
