[or Falling Victim to Passive Flirtation]
Sitting on the couch with mixed company
Watching a hilarious B-list comedy
When some wise guy spies an opening
Next to me on the sofa
And he sits a proper distance
Bides his time (when'd he get closer?)
And suddenly my heart starts racing
But its not love--heavens no
My face gets flushed--I pretend I don't notice
But he's touching me with his elbow
Awkward elbow contact
Makes life exciting in a negative way
Bends don't fit together
So it's uncomfortable but you do it anyway...
You weren't in my space
'til you assaulted my arm
Now I'm all jumpy
Since you've turned on the charm
How do I tell you to buzz off--but sweetly
I wouldn't mind if you weren't so darn creepy
Awkward elbow contact
Makes my head spin filled with horror and doubt
Keep your elbow off me
I'm watching TV
and you're flirting me
And no matter what I do I'll always be wrong
I'm either a jerk or I'm leading you on
Oh the dilemma, the fear and the pain
Plus this sweet cramp that's driving me insane
You're sweet, you're good looking
But the answer is no
No now--no forever
So please mind my bubble
You incorrigible flirt
I don't want to be able to tell the thread count of your shirt
Awkward elbow contact
Makes me want to wretch
Awkward elbow contact
Stop glancing at my chest
I find you creepy and I hardly know you
And I see you next (please don't move closer)
For the love of everything good and holy
Keep your awkward elbow to yourself
Author notes
A song dedicated to flirtatious boys who insist on cramping my space... think of it as an obnoxious pop ballad in the style of punk 'We wish we were rockers' bands.
Please tell me what you think

I totally felt the obnoxious pop ballad thing! i was just visualizing a bunch of girls at a slumber party shouting this out in scrunched up faces and laughing, it really fit the vibe. So many really cute, memorable lines: "bends don't fit together" "this sweet cramp that's driving me insane",etc. made me feel light and happy (thanks).

lol, this was great. It's definitely true as well, sometimes boys can be over the top. And I can totally see some pop punk band singing this.
great write, very entertaining.

Makes me want to scooch closer
A very cute rhyme. In the style of "We wish we were rocker's" of course. Reminds me of all the 'accidental' brushing and 'friendly' hugging that went on at the bar tonight. Except I think that flushed racing pulse feeling is sorta fun sometimes. Makes you feel alive. Thank all those creepy boys for that!!!
