Hey Pete - Ten Foot Pole

«Hey Pete"she said «it's not too late

I still think that you’re just great

You need to wait in the right place

Where you’ll meet a girl with good taste»

«Aw, ma don’t you think I tried?

I think there’s something wrong inside

I have no problem making friends

But that’s where the story ends»

I have no problem hanging out

Then I see a glimpse of doubt

And I don’t understand

What makes them not like me?

I’m just trying to be myself

But it’s so far from everyone else

And I don’t understand what makes them not like me

«Hey Pete I see from what you said

That the problem’s all in your head

And if you want to make a change

You must let go of being strange.»

«Yeah mom the problem’s in my brain

Sometimes I really think I’m insane

It goes much deeper than the beard

Deep down inside me I’m just weird

I have no problem hanging out…

Maybe I’m just weird

«You're not weird Pete you’re just fine

And I’m proud to say you’re mine

Regardless of the strange things you’ve done

I’m so glad that you’re my son

I really think from what you said

That the problem’s all in your head

And if you want to make a change

You must let go of being strange»
