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 And she's so smart and independent I dont think 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 three a.m. she's still up watching vacation And I see her pretty face it takes me away to a better place And I know that everything's gonna be fine Yeah my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does She brings me mexican food from sombrero just because And when I feel like giving up like my world is falling down I show up at three a.m. she's still up watching vacation And I see her pretty face it takes me away to a better place And I know that everything's gonna be fine
