Are you one of them girls?
I've officially sublet my apartment for the summer and I'm now living on my boat at a marina in Maryland. With a single-burner stove and a tiny microwave on the boat this means I'm eating out a lot. Well, this past Saturday night I was sitting down to a late dinner at a waterfront lunch/dinner place that turns into a bar at night. It was still relatively early, but the crowd was changing over.
I had finished dinner and was sitting there with a glass of wine enjoying the music and the breeze and watching the boats. He walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance. I politely declined.
[b][i]"Are you one of them girls?"[/i][/b] he asked. I recognized the words as a song lyric but couldn't quite remember the rest of the song. He, of course, laughed and I pretended I got the joke and went back to watching the boats and enjoying my wine.
And I made a mental note to Google the lyrics later. Obviously not a top priority, I just got around to Googling them now. The song is by Lee Bryce:

Are you one of them girls?
That peels off the Bud-Light label
Just might run a pool table
Roll your eyes if I call you an angel
Ain't you, one of them girls?
Ask you to dance, you say, "No"
Just to see how far I'll go
Your song comes on and your eyes closed
That's when I know, yeah

No, dude, believe it or not, sometimes it's not about you. Yes, I'll roll my eyes if you call me angel (or sweetie or baby or just about anything else) because I'm not your angel and rolling my eyes is my way of stopping myself from going all cra-cra on your ass. You do not want to see me go all cra-cra.
I have no interest in seeing how far you'll go, unless you're heading away from me. And yeah, I've gotten pretty good at pool the last couple years and have been known to pick at labels on a bottle or two. None of that has anything to do with wanting to see how far you'll go.
And if my jam does happen to come on and I do get up to dance, please know that that most certainly has nothing to do with you and you'd best stay clear.
