Mixtapes for Girls

A fun song:

MIXTAPES FOR GIRLS
by My Legendary Girlfriend

I spent a lot of money
I spent a lot of time
Sitting at my stereo
Trying to get it right
Oh, what to put on first?
Maybe some Fun Boy Three
Something to let her know
Just what she means to me

They never appreciate
The time and care spent to create
To try to find that perfect song
It always seems to come out wrong

CHORUS

I don't what to do or say
So I make this litle gift
A tiny piece of me, a tape
But the more time I've invested
The less they're interested in me...

Mixtapes for girls
Mixtapes for girls... never work
Mixtapes for girls
Mixtapes for girls

I've tried The Wedding Present
Neil Young and Pavement, too
Portishead and Brian Eno
It doesn't get through

My taping's not killing the industry
'Cause they never make it past song three
But some girls think I'm so uncool
But they couldn't tell Lou Reed from Doug Yule

And your non-interest makes me feel blue
But it's the only thing that I know how to do

Mixtapes for girls (repeat)
