about
This song is based on two real-life incidents. The gentleman in the first verse hit on some friends of mine at a bar, and the one in the other verses approached me at a convenience store on Broad Street in Providence. I think I connected these incidents because they both involved a mistaken identity, and also because in both the strategy used was flawed in every possible way.
lyrics
Excuse me, but I was wondering --
You look quite familiar to me.
Might I have seen you on match.com,
OKCupid, or eHarmony?
If I haven't, I guess that's no big surprise.
This has happened before, you see.
When you've seen as many dating profiles as I have
Everyone looks the same to me.
Hey there, buddy, how're you doing?
What, you don't recognize me?
Didn't I see you just the other day
at Amazing Video down Empire Street?
If I haven't, I guess that's no big surprise.
This has happened before, you see.
When you've been to as many purveyors of pornography as I have
Everyone looks the same to me.
(Try not to think about that too much.)
I acknowledge you're a unique individual,
You're one in a million and ten.
Wait, no, I think I'm thinking of someone else.
Just who the hell are you again?
So excuse me if I'm bothering you;
I could have sworn we're the best of friends.
You really don't remember who I am?
I guess that's how our story ends.
I guess it's really no big surprise;
I've always had rotten luck.
But for the sake of old acquaintance,
Could you lend me a lousy buck?
You look quite familiar to me.
Might I have seen you on match.com,
OKCupid, or eHarmony?
If I haven't, I guess that's no big surprise.
This has happened before, you see.
When you've seen as many dating profiles as I have
Everyone looks the same to me.
Hey there, buddy, how're you doing?
What, you don't recognize me?
Didn't I see you just the other day
at Amazing Video down Empire Street?
If I haven't, I guess that's no big surprise.
This has happened before, you see.
When you've been to as many purveyors of pornography as I have
Everyone looks the same to me.
(Try not to think about that too much.)
I acknowledge you're a unique individual,
You're one in a million and ten.
Wait, no, I think I'm thinking of someone else.
Just who the hell are you again?
So excuse me if I'm bothering you;
I could have sworn we're the best of friends.
You really don't remember who I am?
I guess that's how our story ends.
I guess it's really no big surprise;
I've always had rotten luck.
But for the sake of old acquaintance,
Could you lend me a lousy buck?
