The Geeks Get the Girls

American Hi · Hearts On Parade [2005]

Another Friday night, to get the feeling right

At the bar, when he sees her coming over

Whatcha gonna do, when she walks up to you?

Tongue tied, better get yourself together

Pound another drink, to give him time to think

'What's your sign?' - 'Hey, I think you know a friend of mine'

All the stupid lines that he had ever heard

Wouldn't come to mind

He couldn't say a word



[CHORUS]

Tonight, tonight he's gonna get it right

Even losers can get lucky sometimes

All the freaks go on a winning streak

In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls



Got her holdin' steady

Forgot her name already

Sweatin' hard, not a smooth operator

She's got it going on, dancing to her favorite song

He's got the line, 'Is it your place or mine?'

She turns and walks away

Where did he go wrong?

But waiting by the car she said, 'What took you so long?'



[CHORUS]



The very next day he guessed she ran away

The one and only in his bed so lonely

She comes walkin' in, with coffee and a grin

Crazy as it seems, it wasn't just a dream

And all around the world people shouted out,

'The geeks got the girl!'



Last night, he finally got it right

Even losers can get lucky sometimes

All the freaks go on a winning streak

Shout it all around the world

'Cause the geeks get the girls [2X]



Shout it all around the world

'Cause the geeks get the girls.
