We Get On by Kate Nash

Simply knowing you exist ain't good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate

Seeing as I can't
Even say 'hi'
When you walk by

And that time you shook my hand it felt so nice
I swear I never felt this way 'bout any other guy
And I don't usually notice people's eyes but..

I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally
But I was walking along and I bumped into you
Much more heavily than I'd originally planned
It was well embarrassing and
I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat

I just think that we'd get on
Oh, I wish I could tell you face to face
Instead of singing this stupid song
But yeah, I just think that we might get on

So I went to that party,
Everyone, they were kind of arty
And I was wearing this dress
Because I wanted to impress
But I wasn't sure if I looked my best
'Cause I was so nervous
But I carried on regardless
Strutting through each room trying to find you

And when I saw you kissing that girl
My heart it shattered
And my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak I stuttered
And my friends were like "whatever
You'll find someone better
His eyes were way too close together
And we never even liked him from the start
And now he's with that tart
And I heard she done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael
He said she's easy
And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy
Then he ain't worth your time cause you deserve a real nice guy"

So I proceeded to get drunk and to cry
And I locked myself in the toilet the entire night

Saturday night I watch channel five
I particularly like C.S.I.
I don't ever dream about you and me
I don't ever make up stuff about us, that would be classed as insanity
I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in
I don't even have an opinion on that tramp that you are still seeing
And I don't know your timetable
I don't know your face off by heart
But I must admit that there still a part of me that thinks
We might get on
That we could get on
That we should get on
