Inarticulate Boyfriend by Jenny Toomey Lyrics
He can barely string two words together
He can barely get his point across
You hold up both ends of the conversation
And help him at every time he's a loss
He wouldn't hurt you
He won't desert you
But still
You're not required to bend to his will
So who am I to begrudge you
Happiness
He can barely form a compound sentence
He can barely state his case at all
But every time he wants you to come over
You're there before he gets a chance to stall
Doesn't beat you
He doesn't treat you
As cruel as those people you dated you in school
Who am I to begrudge you
Happiness?
With your inarticulate boyfriend
Why don't you take up ventriloquism?
Why don't you just set him on your knee?
And make him say everything you wanted
Make pledge him pledge his love gramatically
You say I cheapen the love that deepened through time
Well is that such an unspeakable crime
Who am I to begrudge you
It's not my place to judge you
Who am I to begrudge you
Happiness?
He can barely get his point across
You hold up both ends of the conversation
And help him at every time he's a loss
He wouldn't hurt you
He won't desert you
But still
You're not required to bend to his will
So who am I to begrudge you
Happiness
He can barely form a compound sentence
He can barely state his case at all
But every time he wants you to come over
You're there before he gets a chance to stall
Doesn't beat you
He doesn't treat you
As cruel as those people you dated you in school
Who am I to begrudge you
Happiness?
With your inarticulate boyfriend
Why don't you take up ventriloquism?
Why don't you just set him on your knee?
And make him say everything you wanted
Make pledge him pledge his love gramatically
You say I cheapen the love that deepened through time
Well is that such an unspeakable crime
Who am I to begrudge you
It's not my place to judge you
Who am I to begrudge you
Happiness?
