Unemployed Boyfriend Lyrics - Songs From An American Movie-vol. 1: Learning How To Smile - Everclear

Hi, this is Peggy 

Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya 

Hey peggy, it's me 

You are never going to believe what happened to me today 

I'm sittin' at the unemployment office 

Waitin' on my loser of a caseworker in one of those nasty chairs 

When from out of nowhere 

This total stranger walks right up to me 

Sits down, then leans over and says something like 

"This is gonna sound a little obsessive'' 

This is gonna sound a little obsessive 

This is gonna sound a little bit strange 

I have one thing to say 

Before I turn and I walk away 

This is gonna sound a little impulsive 

This is gonna sound a little insane 

I know you don't know me yet 

But you and I, we will be together someday, someday 

I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs 

Listen to me when I say 

That ever since when I first saw you 

Sittin' on your car outside 

You asked for a cigarette 

I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes 

Ever since when I first saw you 

Looking bored in that plastic chair 

With the lights of the office around you 

Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair 

You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare 

Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care 

Hey you can be with me 

Yeah 'cause I just might be the one 

Who will treat you like you're perfect 

Who will always make you come 

Hey you can be with me 

Yes I will always let you win 

I will never be like those other guys 

I will never be your unemployed boyfriend 

Can you believe he said that to me? 

To me, of all people! 

I can't even remember the last time a guy took me out 

On a date and actually paid for it 

This is gonna sound a little bit out there 

This is gonna sound a little insane 

I keep having the same dream 

You will be the mother of my children someday, someday 

I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy 

I know he is in that famous band 

You look so sad when you are with him 

Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand 

Yeah you can be with me 

Yes I will treat you like a queen 

I will go to all those chick flick movies 

That I really don't want to see 

Yeah you can be with me 

No I will never let you down 

I will never make out with your girlfriend 

When I know you're not around 

Yes you can be with me 

Yeah I just might be the one 

Who will treat you like you're special 

I will always make you come 

You can be with me 

Yes I will always let you win 

I will never be like those other guys 

I will never be like those other guys 

I will never be your unemployed boyfriend 

Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real? 

No 

Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away 

Whoa 

I mean wow, but you know the weird thing is 

He is actually kinda cute in a really intense way 

Kinda like Collin Farrell, you know 

Intense but sensitive 

Anyway I told my bitchy sister about it, she just laughed at me 

I told her, "I'm really excited about it 

That I have a really good feeling about this guy" 

I told her, "This could be the guy"
