Christine Lavin - Good Thing SHE Can't Read My Mind: A Dude's Eye View lyrics
A dude's-eye view I am at a shopping mall I do not like shopping malls but she loves shopping malls and I love her each time she stops to look at shoes I'm reacquainted with the blues by the groans I hear there are men here who I think concur I wanted to stay home today to watch the Green Bay Packers play A monumental pigskin contest of the manly kind instead I'm at a shopping mall I can't stand shopping malls it's a good thing she can't read my mind Sure I'll hold your purse while you try that on No, I don't think it makes you look f . . . I am at a craft fair I do not like craft fairs but she loves craft fairs and I love her there's topiary, origami face painting, scrapbooking and her favorite . . . dreamcatchers! what the hell's a dreamcatcher? what the hell is decoupage? rug hooking? now that's something I might get behind I can't stand craft fairs I am at a craft fair It's a good thing she can't read my mind Learn to make my own soap? how did you know that's been my dream? I am not complaining I'm just making observations expanding your horizons is a sign of sophistication I'm in a tai chi cla** every Sunday morning though sometimes thoughts of boxing overcome me without warning I am at a chick flick I do not like chick flicks but she loves chick flicks and I love her Uh-oh it's a double bill now I'm really feeling ill it's "Beaches" followed by "The Way We Were" now I'm in an awful mood plus I'm eating awful food when all I wanted was to kick back and unwind I can't stand chick flicks I'm gonna watch two chick flicks it's a good thing she can't read my mind Tomorrow night is "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Terms Of Endearment"? oh . . . pinch me . . . So if you see me at a chick flick see me in a craft booth see me at a shopping mall wallowing in despair don't feel sorry for me I must be in love why in the hell else would I be there? Before I met her life was dull I never took any chances now I leap at every opportunity I find I do not like chick flicks I don't like craft fairs can't stand shopping but maybe I will in time maybe I will in time join your book club? Oh sure, I'd love to . . .
