I know who you want to
I know who you want me to be but I can't even say
I know it's fading fast, whatever you saw in me
But I'm still going to try to be the one who makes it happen
I can't help it
I just can't help it
I just want to talk to women about videogames
I
Know
It's
Probably a bad idea
I've been doing it this way for years
Got nothing to show for my persistence but reject and deject
Shun
My friends say that I do it wrong
That I should know my role and play along
Just throw around the football and talk about sports
And Stuff
DON'T TALK ABOUT SPORTS AND STUFF (neverending story)
I can't help it
I just can't help it
No matter how hard I try it always turns out the same
I can't help it
I just can't help it
I just want to talk to women about videogames
It's a bad idea
I can't help it
(Refrain)
I can't help it
I just can't help it
I just want to talk to women about videogames

You know, like the older videogames
Most of them didn't have a beat
You know, Rockman [and others] being excluded
But a beat wasn't "necessary"

Ya gotta have a.. BEEAT!

Ya gotta make it cool
Here we go
Oh, here's a remake... here's a remake/remix comin' on
RAPPER:
I gotta go get my videogame news
It's like booze
If I don't get my videogame news I'm like nothin'
I gotta know everything
Go down to the local Gamestop and get yourself your fix
Go down to the local Gamespot and get yourself some tick'[et]s to the movies
I mean, not the movies
Movies are overrated my friend
Old videogames are where it's NOT at any more
New videogames are where we're all at, together, as one
Ooh, it's a social experiment
I'm feelin' a little bit of an irritant
I want out with the old
Out with the old (7 times)

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
He filled up the buckets
MALE CHORUS:
Gonna stay up late, we're gonna have a good day (refrain)
CROONER:
He's got so much milk
He doesn't know what to do
Hehe, do ya wan't some?
He fucked the girls
MALE CHORUS:
Hefty hefty!
Feelin' the music!
CROONER:
He PORKED 'em all
Everyone on his show
I'm tellin' ya the... not truth
He's like James [John] Wilkes Booth.. of PORKIN!
MALE CHORUS:
Gonna stay up late, we're gonna have a good day
Tro-lo-lolo-lo-lo
Lolololololololo-lo-lo-lo! (refrain)

I can't help it
I just can't help it
I just want a videogame about talking to women
First thing you do, is press start
Then your presented with a series of
Conversational charts
Of different things, that you can say
To ask beautiful women all about their day
And I know that you probably think it sounds dumb
But I promise it's really, really
NOT... DUMB
And I know that you think you should go out and have fun
Dance around with a girl (Jesus Christ)
That would be
NOT... FUN
I can't help it
I just can't help it
There is nothing wrong with mixing love with pretend
I can't help it
I just can't help it
I just want a videogame about talking to women
The thing you don't get is, no relationship is real
There is no way to every really know how someone
else feels
And they don't know you either, it's just a big sham
To trick you into believing in love and then BAM
You've put your thing in her thing, and a baby comes out
Just more people in your life to fill you with doubt,
A family of fakers, pretending to know love
Trapped in their skulls, while they push and they
shove
Trying to get out, trying to connect
But it'll never happen, they should just forget it
And submit to the wonder of a virtual relationship
One unencumbered by the failings of the five sense and the human's inability to communicate it's true selves through psychic or other supernatural means
A conversation with a virtual person has no potential for misunderstanding because the input if digital and it therefore 100% direct with no potential for miscommunication
My love for my videogame girlfriend is more real than anything because it's simple and honest and clear
I can't help it

Bought unsalted nuts the other day,
Turns out they were salted
What a salty mistake, the best kind of mistake
Got a sealed bag of turkey, bit into the seal
To get the turkey out, didn't want to look for scissors
Took ten minutes of gnawing on the bag to get it out
Could have found the scissors in two
But I wanted to chew

E Emaj7
I can think of younger days, when living for my life was
F#m E
everything a man could want to do.
G#7 C#m F#7
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told
B7
about the sorrow.
Chorus:
Emaj7 F#m
And,
how can you mend a broken heart, how can you
stop the rain from falling down.
A B7 A B7
How can you stop, the sun from shining,
F#m B7 E
What makes the world go round.
Emaj7 F#m
How can you mend this broken man, How can a loser ever win.
A B7 A B7 F#m B7
Please
help me mend my broken , and let me live
E Emaj7 E
again,
Verse 2:
E Emaj7
I can still feel the breeze, that rustles through the trees.
F#m E
and misty memories of day's gone by.
G#7 C#m F#7
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word
B7
about the sorrow.
