  Blind Date

  Clark Steven Lupton

  2002



  I'm dating you so I can see

  If you're really the right girl for me

  This blind date is arranged by a friend

  So you're lucky you don't have to spend



  He didn't say if you are cute

  But that you  have a personality I can't refute

  Which probably means you're an ugly gal

  That really isn't good for my morale



  My friend reminds me that beauty is skin deep

  Which I think means you really need beauty sleep

  He says not to worry you're really nice

  But to date a stranger can be bad advice



  He said, "Come on, be her pal!

  You don't want to be a Shallow Hal!"

  But we're born into a physical world

  And at first look I almost hurled  



  I'm just saying that on a blind date

  You want an appearance that you can relate

  And hope that you're a decent match

  And don't have something I could catch

  

  So while the terrorists are out there bombin

  We're trying to find things we have in common

  Common intelligence, not too dense

  A little bit of common sense



  Common tastes, common friends

  Dresses in the latest fashion trends

  She takes care of herself

  An interesting book or two on her shelf



  But can you get any stranger?

  I look in your eyes and I sense danger!

  And when you talk you're such a bore

  Let this date end - I can't take anymore!



  So in my constant search for Miss Right

  I guess I'll have to put up with you tonight

  We simply are not having not having a blast

  And as blind dates go, you are my last
