I remember when I first laid eyes on you My man Tom introduced us, but I was too shy to say 'hi' When I finally built up enough nerve to drop a line You made it clear you wasn't just another myspace mistress And I didn't take it personal When you ignored my request to be your friend, I spilled my guts and hit send Waited two weeks for a response and got nothing Honestly, it only made me want you more Week four rolled around, and I was this close to letting go But something wouldn't let me even though I hardly knew you It was plain to see we were meant to lock lips You knocked me out with the brass knuckle tats on your hips I was on this website late night lurking When I got a message from you that was labeled urgent You said you weren't impressed by lame dudes with no game They're all the same, tryin' to get your instant messenger name But the fact that you're hittin' me back made me smile You must've saw somethin' you liked when you was skimming through my profile You caught me at the most pivotal moments And now I'm emailing my love a dozen digital roses [Chorus] So click approve, so simple Show me some kind of sign, and let me know it's time to make my move Just click approve, come on, girl Baby, I'm one of a kind, and I ain't got time to lose Click approve, you're killing me here Show me some kind of sign, and let me know it's time to make my move Just click approve, come on, girl Baby, I'm one of a kind, and I ain't got time to lose Let's face it, it's a sad situation When we have to resort to keyboards as a means of making relations But I don't have the patience, I get straight to the point So this is me at my most honest No egos, no Gym Class status, just Travis Love it or leave it, but you gotta admit On a scale of 1 to awesome I'm the shit Just get over it and have it, goddammit, I'd been waitin' too long I even wrote a song about, like to hear it? Here it go If I'm being too annoying, let me know (just let me know) But it's hard for me to not hate When I'm on myspace, I never see my face in your 'top eight' Approaching six weeks now, it's kinda obvious that you're either occupied or playing a game All my money's on the latter; this is not a 'LOL' matter Why would you pass up a chance this great? If there were two forces, and I split them down the middle I could swing back and forth for three days (rephrase) If I had two horses, and I beat them with authority I'd gallop all the way to Canada to see your face But all I got is this Powerbook and I-chat Besides, I hit you all the time, and you never write back I stay on my feet (shit) And be persistent till my name is under 'who you'd like to meet' [Chorus] Who cares if we don't know each other's last name? All I know is that I'm smittin' with your pictures, wishin' you would feel the same I'll admit I get a little jealous when other dudes leave you comments Don't let it gas you up; it's all nonsense Lately I've been romancing the thought of me and you speaking in tongues in this mansion I bought But it's all wishful thinking Just give me some kind of sign to let me know I'm not freakin' you out And if you lovin' what I'm speaking about, then say something I check my in-box ten times and ain't nothin' You probably busy doin' something sexy I just hope I'm in your thoughts next time you log in And if not, ain't no love lost between you and me I'll be here when your man ain't fully down as he used to be So, yeah, it's time to sign out; my vision's getting blurry This is madness, 'xoxo dash Travis' [Chorus] So click approve
