Blind Date
Clark Steven Lupton
2002
I'm dating you so I can see
If you're really the right girl for me
This blind date is arranged by a friend
So you're lucky you don't have to spend
He didn't say if you are cute
But that you have a personality I can't refute
Which probably means you're an ugly gal
That really isn't good for my morale
My friend reminds me that beauty is skin deep
Which I think means you really need beauty sleep
He says not to worry you're really nice
But to date a stranger can be bad advice
He said, "Come on, be her pal!
You don't want to be a Shallow Hal!"
But we're born into a physical world
And at first look I almost hurled
I'm just saying that on a blind date
You want an appearance that you can relate
And hope that you're a decent match
And don't have something I could catch
So while the terrorists are out there bombin
We're trying to find things we have in common
Common intelligence, not too dense
A little bit of common sense
Common tastes, common friends
Dresses in the latest fashion trends
She takes care of herself
An interesting book or two on her shelf
But can you get any stranger?
I look in your eyes and I sense danger!
And when you talk you're such a bore
Let this date end - I can't take anymore!
So in my constant search for Miss Right
I guess I'll have to put up with you tonight
We simply are not having not having a blast
And as blind dates go, you are my last
