Dat Mag Niet Van Mijn Vriendin

I’d really love to go to the folk dance theater
But my girlfriend won’t let me
I’d love to have my mom’s photo on the mantel
But my girlfriend won’t let me
I’d really like to trim a bonsai tree
Or mess around with a crossword puzzle
But even Lingo is off the table for me
'Cause my girlfriend won’t let me

I’d really like to skip yoga just once
But I have to go, says my girlfriend
I’d really like to not be in the spotlight for a change
But I have to, says my girlfriend
I’d really like to not ruin my Sunday
By shaving all the hair off my legs
But protesting, it’s just pointless
'Cause I have to, says my girlfriend

We’ve been eating Japanese for weeks now
'Cause it goes so well with our new table
And every weekend I’m pale
In some hardcore nightclub
I even damn well got a piercing in my belly button

I’d really like my coffee with a splash of milk
But my girlfriend won’t let me
Oh, honestly, I’d really like to have a different girlfriend.
