Ugly Girl
Surprising Heartbreak: When Love Chooses an Unexpected Path
Lyrics
When I saw you at the grocery store
Observing the person at the grocery store
You were sharing a shopping cart with her
Noticing the person sharing a cart with someone else
And I couldn't turn and run away
Feeling unable to avoid the situation
I didn't know what to say
Experiencing uncertainty and speechlessness
You introduced us for the first time
Being introduced to the new person
And I had to look her in the eye
Forced to make eye contact with the new person
But you could not imagine my surprise
Expressing surprise at the situation
Can't you see you're leaving me for an ugly girl
Accusing the partner of leaving for someone considered unattractive
Does she talk politics and all the stuff that used to make me sick
Questioning if the new person shares certain interests
Does she smoke cigars and stay up late oh, she's so great
Listing qualities of the new person, sarcastically praising
Does she tell you what you want to hear
Wondering if the new person tells the partner what they want to hear
And I bet that she can grow a beard
Suggesting a humorous exaggeration about the new person
I'd feel better thinking you were queer
Expressing discomfort with the idea of the partner being queer
It's not fair I can't compare to an ugly girl
Feeling inadequate compared to the new person
Ha ha ha, the joke's on me
Recognizing the irony of the situation
I feel jealous and I feel mean
Admitting to feelings of jealousy and meanness
Is she so nice that it makes up for her face there's no way
Questioning if the new person's niceness compensates for their appearance
Do you have to keep your eyes closed
Suspecting the need to keep eyes closed during intimacy
Do you have to keep the lights down low
Wondering if dim lighting is necessary
Oh I bet you wish you had a blindfold can't you see
Suggesting a wish for a blindfold during intimate moments
You're leaving me for an ugly girl
Reiterating the partner's departure for someone considered unattractive
