Watching Time Square on a tiny TV Will their buddies even like me? Kissin' at the stroke of twelve Stumblin' off to slime you in the cozy cabin Cushy mommy, three hours north of the Mojave Lickin' at a salty pond Lickin' on what turns you on The downbeat of a brand new year I'm still scared you hardly care Until you brought me to your beachfront condo Whispered, "I'm in love with you, Tud" Half-off at a tiki bar Mellow moonlight on the carpet Even only slightly zooted Everything seems lush with you, kid I know who could drive us home Next time, let's invite them both The downbeat of a brand new year, ah-ah-ah-ah And all its biggest fears I mean, I'm not some stylish soothsayer And I was not expectin' her But then you took off with a howlin' heavy Hopeless heat on 2020 Guess I am the lesser man Guess I am the drugstore brand But I still work hard, plus I'm cheaper If it matters, people pleaser How'd ya miss the sheep clothes? Trade your puppy for a wolf The downbeat of a brand new year I know now you hardly care Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah How can I prove I'm a keeper? If it matters, people pleaser
