lyrics

This one is supposed to be saying:

She's 20,000 leagues outta my league
I could try and try until I go through mental fatigue
Seems like everybody's identical
So I'm looking for a girl who's something special

I'm a weird kid with a car, a guitar, a uke, and a keyboard
Spent my cash at Sam Ash and a little at the thrift store
I'm broke, what a joke, 21 with nothin' to show
I'm young, havin' fun, and I really wanna know
What you'd think of me if I walked right up to you
And said something dumb
Cuz that seems to be my thing
That's always been my thing!

I'm on the lookout for girl, who views the world, much smarter than I could ever
Understands what I can't and uses the head on her shoulders
Not vain, yet has brains, and is totally sweet
I wait and I wait and someday we will meet
And even though I'm not a genius
I'll give her all that I can
My best offer is loyalty and care
When you need me I'll be there!
