(But Then) She Spoke Lyrics by The Vandals

The Quickening

1996

There she stood - she was a vision - a picture of perfection - so I made the big decision - I'm going to talk to her - I have to show to her it could be magic - and I got the nerve up - So went over there - she was a goddess - I had to show to her I could be her Adonis - At first sight I knew she was my destiny - The first time the feeling has come over me - Intimidation, feared rejection - I need to make a love connection - then the unexpected had occurred - and then it happened - and she spoke - and it all just went to hell - her personality quickly broke the spell - so disillusioned - and I came to the conclusion - she was garbage wrapped in loveliness - leaving me so unimpressed - If she don't shut up - I'm gonna throw up - all over her shoes - How could it be? - That such a goddess would ever talk to me - and make me nauseous - All the things she said - just echoed in my head - I thought she was an angle, - but it was all just misread - Every word was terrible, - and made it more unbearable - and made me have to leave the f-ing room - and it's all because she spoke - tortured by her words - such a pretty shithead - that I wished I never heard - Perfect on the outside - but fucked on the in - how can god be so cruel? - it's got to be a sin - I had to plug my ears, - until she disappears - so I can cry - Waahh! - and it's all because she spoke - it all just went to hell - her personality quickly broke the spell - so disillusioned - that I came to the conclusion - she was garbage wrapped in loveliness - leaving me so unimpressed - I was destined to learn my lesson - and I learned it well - Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first - Never fall in love till you go through her purse - Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first - And I should know
