This is a humorous song, based on something that has occasionally happened to me after gigs. Thumbnail photo by Ryan Biggins

You Only Want Me (Eddie Biggins)

I’ve seen that starry look that’s in your eyes a time or two You say that you enjoyed the show I’m flattered that you’d like for me to come up to your room But I’m afraid my answer’s “no”

You only want me ‘cause you’re drunk You’d never notice me when sober If cops gave you that test, you’d flunk Because you’re obviously drunk

I know sometimes the guy with the guitar onstage up there Might make you want to more than dance But I have no illusions, yeah I know I’m no John Mayer So you should keep it in your pants

You only want me ‘cause you’re drunk I’m sure that you’d be disappointed To wake up next to this old punk Who only wants you ‘cause you’re drunk

You’re girlfriend says you have to go, I think perhaps you should You look like you could use a bed The only thing you’ll be regretting if you leave right now Is tomorrow morning’s aching head

You only want me ‘cause you’re drunk The smell of alcohol pervades you Yeah, bet you didn’t know you stunk You didn’t notice ‘cause you’re drunk

Oh, girl, I know that I’m no hunk Though I appreciate your interest I’m not in that much of a funk You only want me ‘cause you’re drunk
