new paint

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

at the station you can meet her

with that smile

you couldn't cheat her

a woman that kind is hard to find

it's good to take a girl

in the not so very good world

and walk in the park until it gets dark

sometimes i feel ugly and old

excuse me baby if i'm acting bold

my head gets hot but my feet aren't cold

excuse me if you will

take a breather on a bench

helps to build up the suspense

then the two of you go to a movie show

if she's woman

there's a chance

that she maybe likes to dance

so you go to the hall and you out-step 'em all

don't make a hullabaloo i'm not the hoipaloi

i'm try any trick and i'll pull any ploy

i'm a used up twentieth century boy

excuse me if you will

she takes you home to meet the folks

laughing at the father's jokes

shall we watch tv

it's all right with me

time to go

you're going to miss her

in the doorway

try to kiss her

oh

it tastes so good

like you hoped it would

if i was 16 again

i'd give my eyetooth

i'm tired and i'm hungry and i'm looking for my youth

i'm a little uncool and i'm a little uncouth

oh

excuse me

yes excuse me if you will

at the station you can meet her

with that smile

you couldn't cheat her

a woman that kind is hard to find
