Verse 1<\/p>\n
Girl: Hey, can we talk a minute?<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Yeah what\u2019s up?<\/p>\n
Girl: Um, just sit down a sec\u2026<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been dating for a while now, a good six weeks or so
\nAnd I wanna know where you think that this gonna go<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Yeah\u2026 I had a feeling that you might do
\nI mean it\u2019s only fair, after all you\u2019ve got the right to
\nTo tell the truth – I guess I\u2019ve been evading it
\nCoz I don\u2019t really know the best way of explaining this
\n– You\u2019re amazing and it\u2019s been a lot of fun
\nBut right now I\u2019m just not in the right place for a relationship
\nYou know the way it is, I\u2019m a busy guy
\nI got a whole load on my plate and I don\u2019t really have the time
\nSo I can\u2019t commit to anything but if you\u2019d like
\nTo keep things on a casual basis well then that\u2019d be just fine\u2026<\/p>\n
Girl: Uh, why the hell didn\u2019t you say that?
\n– If that\u2019s how you felt then you shoulda told me way back
\nInstead of wasting my time getting my hopes up
\nThinking there was more when all along you had the same plan
\nBy staying quiet and refusing to confess
\nYou\u2019ve basically been lying to me and just using me for sex
\nIt could\u2019ve been casual if you\u2019d said so at the start
\nBut instead you\u2019ve gone ahead and played around with my heart<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
(Flopped it) But I\u2019m gonna learn from my mistakes
\nAnd be honest next time to avoid the heart ache
\nWhen it comes to The Talk I won\u2019t leave it so long
\nCoz baby I don\u2019t wanna do you wrong (No I don\u2019t wanna do you wrong)<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Hey, can we talk a minute?<\/p>\n
Girl: Yeah what\u2019s up?<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Um, just sit down a sec\u2026<\/p>\n
We met a couple days ago and had our first date
\nThen we spent the night together and I won\u2019t lie it was great
\nBut I\u2019ve been berated for misleading girls before
\nSo it\u2019s important to me that we talk just to set things straight
\nYou seem ace and I think you\u2019re really pretty
\nBut I don\u2019t want a girlfriend now coz I\u2019m too busy
\nAnd I don\u2019t wanna be accused of lying or pretending
\n– So I\u2019m ending it now before you get invested\u2026<\/p>\n
Girl: (Uh) – <\/p>\n
Offbeat: Shh baby let me speak\u2026
\nI know you\u2019re looking for the One but I\u2019m afraid that isn\u2019t me
\nYou\u2019re probably devastated and I\u2019m sorry you got stung
\nBut I\u2019m doing you a favour – in fact you\u2019ll probably thank me in the long run\u2026<\/p>\n
Girl: \u2026 Are you done?<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Uh I guess so\u2026 <\/p>\n
Girl: Ok, well number 1
\nJust coz I\u2019m a woman doesn\u2019t mean I need a boyfriend
\nDon\u2019t you know that some girls just wanna have fun? (Um\u2026)
\nNow try and brace your ego for number 2\u2026
\nThe sex was good but not enough to make me fall in love with you!
\nSo based on what you\u2019ve said let\u2019s be friends and nothing more
\nYou could\u2019ve had benefits but you\u2019re too immature<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
(Flopped it) But I\u2019m gonna learn from my mistakes
\nSo next time I\u2019ll slow things down and put on the brakes
\nWhen it comes to The Talk I won\u2019t come on so strong
\nCoz baby I don\u2019t wanna do you wrong (No I don\u2019t wanna do you wrong)<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
Both: Hey, can we talk a minute? \/ Hey, can we talk a minute?<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Haha, you go first<\/p>\n
Girl: No you\u2026<\/p>\n
Offbeat: We\u2019ve hooked up a couple times so lets get it out the way
\nAnd make sure that the two of us are both on the same page
\nI\u2019m having lots of fun – an absolute ball in fact
\nBut right now I\u2019m not looking for anything more than that<\/p>\n
Girl: Thanks, I appreciate you being straight with me
\nAnd actually I gotta say it comes as a great relief
\nSee I just came out of a long term relationship
\nSo I don\u2019t wanna jump into another one so hastily<\/p>\n
Offbeat: Sweet! This is what\u2019s been so elusive
\nA girl who\u2019s cool with not being exclusive
\nWho\u2019s like a mate and who kills me with laugher
\nWho I want to watch Netflix and chill with after\u2026
\nBut now a couple months have passed I see a catch
\nCoz the more time that I spend with you, the more I feel attached
\nWhen I get with other girls it doesn\u2019t feel the same
\nAnd the thought of you with other guys is driving me insane
\nSo what do you say, why don\u2019t we just give this thing a go?<\/p>\n
Girl: I\u2019m sorry, but I told you from the start the answers \u201cNo\u201d
\nWhy do you look upset? I thought you said that\u2019s what you wanted<\/p>\n
Offbeat: I thought it was as well, but somehow it still feels like I\u2019ve flopped it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
