So This Guy at My Office Lyrics
So this guy at my office --
I think he's up to something.
He's smells like Earl Grey,
And you should've seen him yesterday.
He showed me this video,
And it was not even funny.
I'm sorry; I'm babbling.
Hey, how was your day?
I think -- no, keep on talking.
Who cares about me?
My day starts when you get here,
And ends when you leave.
La, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la.
I love you.
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
I love you.
I think he's up to something.
He's smells like Earl Grey,
And you should've seen him yesterday.
And it was not even funny.
I'm sorry; I'm babbling.
Hey, how was your day?
Who cares about me?
My day starts when you get here,
And ends when you leave.
La, la, la, la, la.
I love you.
La, la, la, la, la
I love you.

He works at an office, and his girl comes to see him for lunchtime and he realizes just how horrible his workday is when she's not visiting. He starts to tell an anecdote about what happened that day, realizes it's mundane and kills the subject, and tells her he wants to hear her day. I wonder if this is endearing or not, because the, "I think -- no, keep on talking / Who cares about me?" could be slightly bitter, as if the girl he is with is dismissive. Or maybe he means it.
