about

Ahem. Yes, I suppose I actually am this childish. An episode of The Office led to me wondering if I could write a whole song that was really just the setup to a "That's what she said" joke. And what better irony than the narrator being a guy who was dumped for being immature, and in talking about it just cannot keep from betraying that his ex was absolutely correct in her assessment?

The musical style is heavily influenced by my middle-school and early high-school days, listening to New Edition, Boyz II Men, etc.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear John... Sad to say...
Going nowhere... Gone away...
Blah blah blah... You'll be ok...
Sincerely.

No fair leaving just when we were doing great.
I'd almost killed the boss on level eight.

[Chorus]
She said I should have known.
She said that she's outgrown me, so she's gone.
I mean come on.
She said she won't endure
Facing the life of immaturity ahead.
"This thing between us has become too hard."
That's what she said.

[Verse 2]
All the great adventures, things that we had planned,
All the free downloaded TV, baby I don't understand.
In my parents' basement, those brownies were the bomb.
Remember all those jokes regarding the virtue of your mom?

That reminds me: don't add injury to hurt.
You best not take my "No fat chicks" t-shirt.

[Chorus]
"Just when did this become some big huge thing?"
That's what she said.

[Instrumental]

Could this be partly just because I flashed my junk?
'Cause that don't really count, babe, I was drunk.

[Chorus]
"Sometimes the part is greater than the whole."
That's what she said.
