Aspera

Lyrics

I’ve never been the cleanest guy,
And I’ve never had much style.
But now my baby’s on my case again,
And she’s making it hard for me to smile.
'Cause she says that don’t match,
Why don’t you wear this with that?
Why don’t you comb your hair,
And shave your beard?
She says when I look at you it makes me wanna die,
Why don’t you wear some cologne once in a while?

My baby wants me to change,
But she wants the same.
And I don’t quite understand,
What she wants in a man.
I like my torn underwear,
And my ripped corduroys.
I don’t mind smelling a bit.
I like the scruff on my chin.


I’ve never been the greatest date,
And I’ve never been that smooth.
But now my baby’s got tears in her eyes,
I think I’m giving my girl the blues.
She says your image sucks,
Why don’t you be a man?
Why don’t you pull out my chair,
And hold my hand?
You think you’re so damn cool cause you’re in a band,
We’ll now you’re gonna lose your biggest fan.

My baby wants me to change,
but she wants me the same.
And I don’t quite understand,
What she wants in a man.
I like my torn underwear,
And my ripped corduroys.
I don’t mind smelling a bit.
I like the scruff on my chin.

My baby hates me this way,
But she’s afraid to say,
That she would never let go,
Even on a bad day.
She likes my torn underwear,
And my stringy hair.
She likes my ripped corduroys,
And the lipstick I wear.

She likes the way that I smell.
