Alternative Girlfriend Lyrics - Maybe You Should Drive - Barenaked Ladies

You're in an all-girl band 

Your futon's second hand 

Your parents understand but you don't care 

I have a job in a shop 

I'm an undercover cop 

I make sure the customers aren't thieves 

Old at being young 

Young at being old 

Everything's on hold within our evolution 

You're my alternative girlfriend 

I love you, now you cannot pretend 

There's nothing left that won't cross over

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Last night we slept on the lawn 

You woke up and I was gone 

Back to the dream; I dream to leave 

My life with her is a bore 

A worn-out metaphor 

No more surprises up its sleeve 

Old at being young 

Young at being old 

Everything's been sold to other's revolutions 

You're my alternative girlfriend 

I love you, now you cannot pretend 

There's nothing left that won't cross over 

You live above your dad's four-car garage 

With your vinyl and imaginary entourage 

If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick 

So we can get out of this town 'cause it makes me sick
