I never thought it would be like this
I’d get to watch it all happen, like a dream
Wow, I never thought I’d be thinking like this
There is just something, something on my mind
You should know this something, because it’s about you
You’re beautiful, you’re intelligent.
Your smile is a legend
Your daughter, she’s pretty cute
But there is just this one thing
about you.
You’re dating an asshat
Not to say that you should go with perfect
but why settle for such a guy
when you could do so much better

Wow, I never thought it would be like this.
I was never one to get involved
especially in relationships.
I talk to you every night
and you tell me these things.
They make my heart shudder.
I just want to tell you this.
You’re dating an asshat.
You don’t have to settle
you don’t have to go for perfect
but please, for the love of god,
do better than this.
You’re dating an asshat.
