Bo Burnham - Lower Your Expectations (If You Want Love) lyrics
[Bo Burnham - Lower Your Expectations If You Want Love lyrics]
We all want love
How many single ladies out there
Looking for love tonight? (Wooo)
Yeah, woo that sadness out
There's more where that came from
Ladies, I know what you want, want, want
You want a guy that's sweet
A guy that's tough
A feminist who likes to pay for stuff
The kind of guy that gets
Along with your friends
Without being attracted to any of them
A good boy, a bad boy a good bad boy
A half good, half bad, half boy
Loves your brothers
Sensitive but not weak and is a great lover
Calls your mother on the weekend
Now you might think that this guy
Only exists in your mind
Guess what: You're right!
If you want love
Lower your expectations a few
Because Prince Charming would never
Settle for you if you want love
Just pick a guy and love him
And if he's got a thing
For feet, say: "Fuck it, sweep me off 'em"
Now the good thing is that at least men
Have very realistic expectations for
Women he said
Sarcastically setting up a second verse
In a comedy song
You want a girl that's nice
A girl that's not
Obsessed with her looks, but is insanely hot
The kind of girl that you
Can show to your folks
Loves the movies that you like and
Always laughs at your jokes
A real girl, a hot girl a really hot girl
A brand new, really hot, real doll
Wants to impress you
Doesn't care if you notice
And only ever uses you to
Tickle her throat with
Now you might think that this girl
Only exists in your mind
But she's real, but last week she died
If you want love
Lower your expectations a lot
You might think your dick is a gift
I promise it's not if you want love
Just pick a girl and love her
Then whip out your dick and let the
Girl you love decline the offer
I don't want a neat freak
I don't want a slob
Somebody with bedhead and a dead-end job
'Cause, I won't settle for less than perfect
We want perfect children, a perfect life
A perfect husband or a perfect wife
But deep down we know, we don't deserve it
But-
We all deserve love
Even on the days when we aren't our best
'Cause we all suck
But love can make us suck less
We all deserve love
It's the very best part of being alive
And I would know, I just turned 25
How many single ladies out there
Looking for love tonight? (Wooo)
Yeah, woo that sadness out
There's more where that came from
Ladies, I know what you want, want, want
You want a guy that's sweet
A guy that's tough
A feminist who likes to pay for stuff
The kind of guy that gets
Along with your friends
Without being attracted to any of them
A good boy, a bad boy a good bad boy
A half good, half bad, half boy
Loves your brothers
Sensitive but not weak and is a great lover
Calls your mother on the weekend
Now you might think that this guy
Only exists in your mind
Guess what: You're right!
If you want love
Lower your expectations a few
Because Prince Charming would never
Settle for you if you want love
Just pick a guy and love him
And if he's got a thing
