lyrics

Try to impress her, you spend a lot of cash,
She takes your flowers and throws them in the trash-
That’s how it goes, loving the impossible girl.

And if you pleae her, she doesn’t ever show it,
But if you don’t, well, boy, she’ll let you know it-
That’s how it goes, loving the impossible girl.

She says, ‘Gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you got,
It doesn’t matter if I give back or not.
Tell me you love me, boy, you’re gonna lose me,
I just need someone to use and abuse me.’

She gives you five point nine when you get your kicks,
But that’s on a scale of ten, not six-
That’s how it goes, loving the impossible girl.

The best time she had lasted ninety minutes straight,
If it makes you feel better, he only got an eight-
That’s how it goes, loving the insatiable girl.

She says, ‘Gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you got,
It doesn’t matter if I give back or not.
Tell me you love me, boy, you’re gonna lose me,
I just need someone to use and abuse me.’

Try so hard to make the girl adore you,
She’s busy talkin’ ‘bout the ones that came before you-
That’s how it goes, loving the impossible girl.

Write her a letter, you ask her to call,
It’s been a month now, you’re bouncing off the wall-
That’s how it goes, leaving the impossible,
You oughta know, the woman’s just impossible,
That’s how it goes, loving the impossible girl.
