i want to be in love, i want to be in love with you.
i filled out the application and mailed in my resume.
i bought a brand new tie, arrived on time for the interview.
sat in your waiting room for the better part of the day.

your voice crackled on the speakerphone, "please reschedule and send him home."

baby if you want me, please confess.
every box of nO's contains a prize of yes.
she said "not everything you want in life should be so fucking effortless.
i'm not in love with you, but i hate you less and less."

"thank you for your time, thank you for your interest.
yes, you're doing fine, one of our top candidates."
can you give me a sign, can you give me a vital sign?
will there ever come a day when you will be mine all mine?

waiting by the telephone, the sun is setting and i'm all alone.

baby if you want me, please confess.
every box of nO's contains a prize of yes.
she said "not everything you want in life should be so fucking effortless.
i'm not in love with you, but i hate you less and less."

standing in the unemployment line
amidst the heartache and the dust mites
tears form in the corners of my eyes
i'm as tireless as a worker bee
i got experience and a master's degree
come on baby, won't you please pick me?
come on baby, won't you please pick me?

baby if you want me, please confess.
every box of nO's contains a prize of yes.
she said "not everything you want in life should be so fucking effortless.
i'm not in love with you, but i hate you less and less."
