    It's kind of a sourgrape song, though I hope not, about the type of guys girls who've "matured" like to fall for.

    Story Behind the Song
    I used to like three girls and they all fell for the same type of guys who are not "meatheads", meaning not obnoxiously or obtrusively dumb, but knee-jerkests who are not really all that different, but their hotness and their individualities have gotten some really intelligent girls. Why?

    Lyrics
    I caught you drowning in your happy tan
    Your purse so pink you looked through your tilted shades
    at me, I'm half color half dark
    Hey Pete I'm going on a date and you got into that car

    I look at your date, tall quiet listens to Ben Harper
    Real nice guy they tell me real mysterious
    understands jd salinger truly
    One of those dudes who pretends he doesn't lift weights
    Then he writes poems about poverty

    He tries to write tries to draw because he lacks rhythm and can't sing
    Real sweet I bet is he, I bet you don't even care about how he looks
    Tall and quiet, listens to your problem, so easy to talk to
    He even reads

    Then months from now I'll see you with red rabbity eyes
    He's done something naughty I'll try my best to make you not cry
    Just as your 40 other guy friends have been doing already
    Then in a month he'll learn to not take you for granted and aw....

    He's a funny gentleman he digs Eastern Philosophy that just happens to be who he is
    anti-new Volkswagen Beatle anti-preppie looking people well of course except for you
    Because you're an individual not consumer culture's residual and only he really understands
    Afraid to show his vulnerabililty fears the future of this society not afraid to show his dirty dirty weewee
    Face it, he's an enlightened jock, thinking man's dumb blonde
