[Answering machine:] ''Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya."
  
  ''Hey Peggy, it's me.
  You are never going to believe what happened to me today.
  I'm sittin' at the unemployment office, waitin' on my loser of a caseworker,
  in one of those nasty chairs,
  when from out of nowhere, this total stranger walks right up to me,
  sits down, then leans over and says something like,
  This is gonna sound a little obsessive.''
  
  This is gonna sound a little obsessive
  This is gonna sound a little bit strange
  I have one thing to say
  Before I turn and I walk away
  
  This is gonna sound a little impulsive
  This is gonna sound a little insane
  I know you don't know me yet
  But you and I, we will be together someday
  Someday
  I know, I know, I sound like I'm on drugs
  Listen to me when I say
  
  That ever since when I first saw you
  Sittin' on your car outside
  You asked for a cigarette
  I couldn't stop starin' at your eyes
  
  Ever since when I first saw you
  Looking bored in that plastic chair
  With the lights of the office around you
  Those blond streaks, they look so pretty in your black hair
  You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
  Yeah you want people to think that you just don't care
  
  Hey you can be with me
  Yeah 'cause I just might be the one
  Who will treat you like you're perfect
  Who will always make you come
  Hey you can be with me
  Yes I will always let you win
  I will never be like those other guys
  I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
  
  Can you believe he said that to me?
  To me, of all people! I can't even remember the last time a guy took me out
  on a date and actually paid for it!?
  
  This is gonna sound a little bit out there
  This is gonna sound a little insane
  I keep having the same dream
  You will be the mother of my children someday
  Someday
  
  I heard you sleep with that obnoxious guy
  I know he is in that famous band
  You look so sad when you are with him
  Yes I never see him reach to hold your hand
  
  Yeah you can be with me
  Yes I will treat you like a queen
  I will go to all those chick flick movies
  That I really don't want to see
  Yeah you can be with me
  No I will never let you down
  I will never make out with your girlfriend
  When I know you're not around
  Yes you can be with me
  Yeah I just might be the one
  Who will treat you like you're special
  I will always make you come
  You can be with me
  Yes I will always let you win
  I will never be like those other guys
  I will never be like those other guys
  I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
  
  Can you believe this? I mean, can this be for real?"
  
  No!
  
  "Then he takes my hand, writes down his number, and just walks away."
  
  Whoa!
