(But Then) She Spoke - The Vandals

There she stood, she was a vision

A picture of perfection, so I made the big decision

I’m going to talk to her, I have to show to her

It could be magic, and I got the nerve up

So went over there, she was a goddess

I had to show to her I could be her Adonis

At first sight, I knew she was my destiny

The first time, the feeling has come over me

Intimidation, feared rejection

I need to make a love connection

Then the unexpected had occurred

And then it happened

And she spoke, it all just went to hell

Her personality had quickly broke the spell

So disillusioned that I came to the conclusion

She was garbage wrapped in loveliness

Leaving me so unimpressed

If she don’t shut up

I’m gonna throw up

All over her shoes

How could it be?

That such a goddess

Would ever talk to me and make me nauseous

All the things she said just echoed in my head

I thought she was an angel but it was all just misread

Every word was terrible

And made it more unbearable

And made me have to f-ing leave the room

And it’s all because she spoke, tortured by her words

Such a pretty shithead that I wished I never heard

Perfect on the outside but fucked up on the in

How can god be so cruel?

It’s got to be a sin

I had to plug my ears

Until she disappears

So I can cry — waahh

And it’s all because she spoke, it all just went to hell

Her personality had quickly broke the spell

So disillusioned that I came to the conclusion

She was garbage wrapped in loveliness

Leaving me so unimpressed

Cause I was destined

To learn my lesson

And I learned it well

It’s

Never think she’s perfect till you talk to her first

Never fall in love till you go through her purse

Never think she’s perfect till you talk to her first

And I should know
