Would you be pissed if that happened to you? I mean, you figure, what's he going to say since he was trolling for strange, too, right?
But say you'd been carrying on a cyber flirtation with someone and when you finally met them, it was your spouse or SO. How would you react?
...I said; per the lyrics, they don't seem to know each other very well. I mean, try this;
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
"If you like beer
And cigarettes
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In a bed with a feather bed and lots of pillows
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes I like beer
And cigars, if that's close enough
I'm not much into health food
I am into beer
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called Murphy's
Where we'll plan our escape."
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."
That you like beer
Getting a brisquet
And the feel of the roller coasters
And the taste of beer
If you'd like making love at midnight
In a big, fluffy bed with a feather bed and lots of pillows
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape
I'm just saying. How do you get bored with someone you don't even know???
