Dime a Dozen Guy - Marshall Crenshaw

I saw her Sunday

Down by the Breakers

She drove right by me

I was stunned to realize

That she was riding with

That dime-a-dozen guy

First they’re at the Forum

Then they’re at the drive-in

I asked my buddies

And they all said «It's no lie

She’s tearin' up the town

With that dime-a-dozen guy»

Guess I was thoughtless, careless too

I disappeared on her it’s true

Now I realize I wasted something

That I cared about

That’s why I’m blue

He’s not good-looking

At least I don’t think so

I just can’t figure

Any earthly reason why

A girl like her would choose

That dime-a-dozen guy

Is there something about him

That my eyes aren’t seeing?

If I’m not mistaken

Then there’s no way to deny

That I’ve been left in the dust

For a dime-a-dozen guy

Right now it’s feeling pretty grim

To hang my heart out on this limb

Now I realize I wasted something

That I cared about

And she’s with him

I saw her Sunday

Down by the Breakers

She drove right past me

And smiled as she rode by

Another girl in love

With a dime-a-dozen guy
