All the good girls never have fun when they're around you
Bad guys steal all the fun as they surround you
My heart expands and contracts as you sit there
Smoking your death cigarette you didn't pay for
And boy, one day you'll understand
How your girl will help make you a man
And girl, without your helping hand
He'd never start the band
He sang sad songs about all his fears and insecurities
Knowing full well that they're from the devil
He spent his Saturday nights playing the corner bar
And finally signed onto an indie record label
And boy, one day you'll understand
How your girl will help make you a man
And girl, without your helping hand
He'd never start the band
Years later he died,and left a single note
To the one he loved, on the page he wrote:
"I'm sorry that I died, wish it was for you"
"All my life I've dreamed about the task of"
"Asking you to marry me, I've always loved you"
"I hope you find someone who treats you like an angel"
And boy, you finally understand
How your girl, helped you become a man
And girl, without your helping hand
He'd never start the band
