My Only Gripe

She worked down at the car hop 
Serving trays to those who paid 
I just wanted to be that pillow 
Where her pretty face laid 
She looked like a diva 
Her body was super fine 
And lardy how I dreamed 
That one day she’d be mine 
She always flipped me off 
Which made me love her more 
She was gonna be mine buddy 
On that I really swore 
I asked her out numerous times 
Always got a flat no 
I think she’s playing hard to get 
It’s just something we studs know 
I took another drag of a joint 
My nerve was ready at last 
The time of waiting was over 
Tonight I’d show her a blast 
I grabbed her by her arm 
As she skated by my car 
She turned and slapped my face 
Yep, really, really hard 
Man, I know she loves me 
Man, I know she cares 
I can see the stars above 
Or am I seeing flares? 
No matter what I’m seeing 
I’m seeing her tonight 
She might as well get ready 
For a cat and dog fight 
We tussled and we fought 
My face became black and blue 
But I wasn’t gonna stop 
It’s not what us studs do 
Her fists were like lightning 
And soon I was floating on air 
She’d tossed me into a dumpster 
Which to me meant she cared 
I crawled back out once more 
And smiled with my broken face 
She then kicked me you know where 
Which put me in my place 
I no longer go that street anymore 
Evidently I’m not her type 
All she had to do was say no 
That’s my only gripe
