A Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Maybe You Should Drive

1994

[Verse 1]
A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
A-M and Azing, like Thelonious Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
It's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention

[Chorus]
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

[Verse 2]
A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
Come on I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me
I owe you an apology I'm sorry

[Chorus]
