I took you to a five star dinner
I bought you the most expensive wine
I even paid of the maitre'd
To usher us up to the front of the line
You told me you needed a stronger, slimmer man
So I went and joined the neighborhood gym
Though the weights put my spine out of commission
Even you can't deny that I am looking real slim
(Chorus:)
You say you're taking your time
Maybe you don't even care
Sometimes I wish I was much more easy to scare
Why? God even knows how I try
I can't fascinate you
Something that I've realized
Nothing will ever do for you
But I will solve this mystery
You've gotta give me the first clue
You said you always wanted a humble man
So I sold my car and bought a beat up van
I guess that wasn't quite enough for you
So now I only speak up when I don't know how to follow your plan
When you treat me unkind
I wanna leave you far behind
Then I think of all the things that make you so fine
And I'm back in the role again
(Chorus)
I won't stop 'til I find the key
The key to you
I took the challenge I must confess
I never met someone so hard to impress
But all you need is someone to love you
Who needs the rest?
