Lyrics
The Courtship of Jane Doe
verse1
Hey there now don't you look fine
Do you know you've run through my mind all day
You must be tired
She said me you never saw
So tell me what has made you fall the way
So uninspired

He said shorty can I talk to you
She said I got other things to do
Then fled leaving him standing alone
In the middle of the doorway
He said now why you wanna act a fool
Instead of realizing all my cool
Pathetic thinking I would give you the time
From any of my day

chorus
She said don't hate me cuz' I'm beautiful
Be original if you can
You see I am so much more than you’re looking for
Even if you were twice the man


verse2
He stood to watch her walk by
He whistled when he saw her thigh protruding
She said honey ain’t my name
And I'm not in the mood for games
Including you

He said you go on and be like that
She said I think I will as a matter of fact
Don't beg me to take another look at you
When you find yourself alone
He read the consequences on her back
Then led his ego in another attack
The reason you ain't got a man
Is that stuck-up little tone

chorus
She said don't hate me cuz' I'm beautiful
Be original if you can
You see I am so much more than you’re looking for
Even if you were twice the man

brige
He said baby
Well maybe
But lately
Hey lady
(repeat)

chorus
She said don't hate me cuz' I'm beautiful
Be original if you can
You see I am so much more than you’re looking for
Even if you were twice the man

Description
Short Song Description:
the trial and error men endure tyring to engage women.
Long Song Description:
I'm a student of human nature and I get a kick out of watching men trying to pick up women in randon places. They always resort to cliches, or lines and then are surprised when they are rebuffed and their egos are crushed.
