Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Pasadena Girl

What is my name?

Who is this fool?

What is this game?

What are the rules?

There you go havin' up a party

Have you got a lot to see?

'Fore I know having somebody

Ain't all it's cracked up to be for me

Pasadena girl

Strike down my hands

Strike down my heart

Strike out this plan

White out this part

There you go havin' up a party

Have you got a lot to share?

'Fore I know having somebody

Mightn't be the best idea for me

Pasadena girl

Problems of the lifetimes, often everywhere

Solving them takes fighting as a pair, do we dare?

Please let me be, this ain't no good

Ten thousand feet from where I stood

There you go havin' up a party

Have you got a lot to give?

'Fore I know having somebody

Maybe ain't the way to live for me

Pasadena girl

Problems of the lifetimes, often everywhere

Solving them takes fighting as a pair, do we dare?

There you go havin' up a party

Have you got a lot to show?

'Fore I know having somebody

Maybe ain't the way to go for me

Pasadena girl
