chuck brodsky - i used to fall lyrics

Loading...

i used to fall for girls who smoked
and drank and told off color jokes
and had that certain kind of look
just a nose ring was all it took
the ones that had that certain sp-nk
kind of girlish, kind of punk
girls you make excuses for
as you lead them out the door

i used to like ‘em fancy-free
the way they would pretend to be
they wore all black, they had long hair
they acted like they didn’t care
full of beans, a great big blur
i used to fall for girls like her
they couldn’t possibly all be true
five hundred words when ten would do

i used to fall for girls like that
who worked the mic and played a strat
whose stomachs were completely flat
they would complain that they were fat
the kind of girls i would pursue
i made them up, they became true
i think i married one or two
they made me tea and wrote haiku

i was always drawn to the manic kind
who’d say whatever was on their minds
girls like that sunk all my ships
carelessly with their loose lips
and yet for one enchanted kiss
i’d betray myself for girls like this
a wild eye, a star tattoo
a little crazy were a few

girls like those they have their charms
red flags and loud alarms
i loved it when they were in my arms
i swear my love was true
now it takes a little more
to turn me on than it did before
certain things i can’t ignore
certain things i do

i used to fall for girls who dance
in tie dye shirts and draw string pants
who bang on drums and don’t eat meat
and walk around in their bare feet
with girls like that it wouldn’t last
not even one half minute past
the moment that the clock struck twelve
they’d leave me dancing with myself

opposites at times attract
like chemicals they can react
the girls who once appealed to me
now don’t seem so real to me
who used to pluck and strum my strings
and say the most preposterous things
sometimes they’d look me in the eye
i used to fall for girls who lie

girls like those they have their charms
red flags and loud alarms
i loved it when they were in my arms
i swear my love was true
now it takes a little more
to turn me on than it did before
certain things i can’t ignore
and certain things i do
