[Verse 1]
It took so long to make this date for you
As if I've written all the songs for you
Move to L.A. in search of something new
Now I just work and sleep and dream of you

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to pay my bills
Hope I have a little left
For a teriyaki dinner for two
It's always good to see you
I hope that next time that I see you
I'll finally be a grown-ass man

[Verse 2]
I hope you like the tape I made for you
Still having trouble writing my own tunes
Move to L.A. and ain't got shit to do
Not sure what I could ever offer you

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to pay my bills
Hope I have a little left
For a teriyaki dinner for two
It's always good to see you
I hope that next time that I see you
I'll finally be a grown-ass man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
