Bar Fly by The Eddy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know why you're talking to me
I don't know who you are
You just look like an actor to me
And you say that you play some guitar
I don't want to be talking to you
You won't get very far
Your good looks aren't a factor to me
You should know I'm solo in this bar
[Chorus]
If I wanted
To talk to
A loser
I'd choose you
I'm not here to
Amuse you
I do just fine on my own
Like a barfly, I drink alone
[Verse 2]
If you're looking for sympathy here
Then I'm just not your girl
Don't you see that's how you'll never be
The most interesting man in the world
I don't know why you won't go away
You keep buzzing around
I'll admit when you're talking your shit
I can't say that I'm minding the sound
[Chorus]
If you're wanting
A connection
Then get ready
For rejection
I'm not running for election
Tell me something I don't know
Or it's too bad I'm no good to go
[Bridge]
I'm disconnected tonight
Out on this long lonely limb
I'm not sure what you expected tonight
Let's just say that your chances are slim
[Verse 3]
Your opinions are pinned on your sleeve
I don't care what you think
If you want to tell more of your story
Then why don't you buy me a drink?
Things are starting to heat up in here
Guess you've broken the ice
If it all keeps on trending this way
Then of course I'll be forced to be nice
[Chorus]
If I wanted
To be stupid
I could do it
Without you
But there's something
About you
Your sweet persistence has shown
That you might get to take
This barfly home
I don't know why you're talking to me
I don't know who you are
You just look like an actor to me
And you say that you play some guitar
I don't want to be talking to you
You won't get very far
Your good looks aren't a factor to me
You should know I'm solo in this bar
[Chorus]
If I wanted
To talk to
A loser
I'd choose you
I'm not here to
Amuse you
I do just fine on my own
Like a barfly, I drink alone
[Verse 2]
If you're looking for sympathy here
Then I'm just not your girl
Don't you see that's how you'll never be
The most interesting man in the world
I don't know why you won't go away
You keep buzzing around
I'll admit when you're talking your shit
I can't say that I'm minding the sound
[Chorus]
If you're wanting
A connection
Then get ready
For rejection
I'm not running for election
Tell me something I don't know
Or it's too bad I'm no good to go

Out on this long lonely limb
