He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her dress
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants is
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance
And that is why the girl is called a tease
And that is why the guy is called a sleaze
And that's why God made escort agencies
"One Life to Live" and mace and GHB
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way since the animals and Noah
First climbed onto the shores of California
Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists, yeah, write
"She's just not my type"
Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating
The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way Aristophanes and Homer
Wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata
That's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma-homa
That's the way since the anti-protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
To get this girl to let him get into her dress
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance
And that's the way it is in Minnesota
That's the way it is in Oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of California
And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants is
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance
And that is why the girl is called a tease
And that is why the guy is called a sleaze
And that's why God made escort agencies

And that's the way it is in Minnesota

I laughed as I read every word.
Not that y'all don't have some good points.
It's just hysterical how you phrased them.
Only thing I feel like adding is that, while this may be a streach, and while it is a recurring theme, perhaps Amanda simply had a shitty night, wrote the song in a passionate rage (work with me here) and for one reason or another it was recorded and made the final cut (it was just too funny to not include). It's a good song for those frustrating times when boys suck (or so you think).
Oh, and comment of the day award goes to mockingsmile "Turning out the lights and dancing isn't having sex. It's dancing with the lights off." I seriosuly thinkI fell out of my chair laughing from that.
