Lyrics[]
- Raise your glass
- We have incorporated
- Place your bets
- We're all so sick of waiting
- Queen takes jack
- You got me this time but I'll get you back
- So pick a number
- To all the ones who tried the most
- Was I supposed to cheer your efforts
- Sorry that I chose so poorly
- Golly gee am I the poster girl?
- She's the kind of girl who looks for love in all the lonely places
- The kind who comes to poker pockets stuffed with kings and aces
- She's the kind of girl who only asks you over when its raining
- Just to make you lie there catching water dripping from the ceiling
- Lift your hats
- Off to the checkout girls with tattooed backs
- They'd make an angels skin crawl
- If you ask them for assistance
- There's an even chance
- You'll get a number
- To all the girls at pearl, the surly boys who get to masticate them
- I've a prize for each and every one of you so just be patient
- To all the ones that hated me the most a toast
- You really had me
- Going for a second I was nervous
- Boy am I the poster girl?
- She's the kind of girl who gets her slings and arrows from the dumpster
- The kind who tell you she's bipolar just to make you trust her
- She's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser
- Just to make you jealous of the men she fucked before you met her
- To all the ones who thought they knew me best a test to prove your prowess
- Who was mine in Ninety-nine? I want last names and current status
- To all the ones who hated me the most a toast you really had me going for second
- I was nervous boy am I the poster girl
- For some suburban sickness?
- Better keep a healthy distance
- Now its up to you know what to do
- It's pretty dirty business
