TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

I met this man on Monday night at the open mic at Molly Malone's. Beth spotted him first. Because he was definitely my archetype. And extremely attractive. All of a sudden, he was sitting with us talking to me and it was on. At least it seemed that way. He complimented me several times on my music. He told me that he worked at a studio in the area and that I should stop by sometime. At the end of the night, he gave me the web address of the studio and I was feeling a little bold (after two bottles of cider) and I said, "Hey, I don't know many people around here. Let me give you my number in case you ever want to get a drink sometime."
He said, "Well, I actually am going to take you up on that."
The week went by and he never called. Because the good ones never do. But Friday night, I got a message from him and we ended up going out with him. It was on and again, I just couldn't believe that this extremely attractive guy was sitting there talking to me. And he was smart and funny and he loved music and he was a talented musician as well. We ended up hanging out all night and "jamming." At the end of the night, while I was walking him to his car, he said to me, "Long story short. I've got a girlfriend, but we're breaking up. I want you to call me again." I was just like, goddamnit. There always has to be something. It just couldn't be that I find the perfect guy, right up my alley and have everything go smoothly. So, the question is, what is the deal with this girlfriend? How serious is it? They're clearly breaking up and he's clearly interested in me. I really liked this guy. I have never found anyone that I liked so much, in fact. If this is just some girl he's been seeing for a couple of months and it was ending anyway, couldn't this work out? Why does everything have to be too good to be true?

I met a man
Gregg with three g's
That's why we call him

He likes McDonalds
And apple pie
He drinks Coors Lite
Just one of the guys

TRIPLE G,

JUST LIKE ME
HE SAYS, "I'M BREAKING UP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND...
SO YOU CAN CALL ME"
CALL ME, TRIPLE G

He's got that look
That I can't resist
He told me he liked my Docs
While we were walking to the Kibbitz

We don't think he's a druggie
And we know he's smart
He told me he like the way I sing
And play guitar

Stay up with me
Into the dark hours of the night
Drinking Merlot
Playing guitar
It feels so right
Stay up with me
Rockin' out to the music
You really rock me
You really rock me,
Triple G

He's a good producer
He once got paid with pot
But he's never smoked marijuana
We think that's kind of odd

I like his hair
It really turns me on
He left his guitar pick here
When he stayed til dawn

TRIPLE G,
BREAK UP WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, TRIPLE G
CAUSE I THINK YOU REALLY LIKE ME
HE'S A LITTLE LOST
AND A LITTLE SPACEY
JUST LIKE ME
HE SAYS, "I'M BREAKING UP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND...
SO YOU CAN CALL ME"
CALL ME, TRIPLE G
