OFFICE GIRL
"Too bad"
2 WEEKS AFTER THE INFAMOUS "WAR OF WORDS"
[A flirtatious day at work has caused Joe’s opinion to take an interesting turn. With no Dayna around to confide in, Joe turns to his trusty book of rhymes……which ironically, just happens to be inside the pages of a fancy teenager style Journal…]
I can’t believe I’m ACTUALLY doing this!
After all the crap Dayna put me through, talking all that smack about “You’re a caveman Joe” and calling ME juvenile!
Chuh!!
She must be out of her mind…calling ME, of all the men in the world, a flipping CAVEMAN?
Has she even listened to a single lyric of even 1 of the hundreds of demo’s I’ve played her? Practically every other song I’ve recorded in the last 15years has been a sappy love song!
But I guess that’s what I get for being too nice. I mean she is basically my best friend, but at the end of the day she is still a girl. And like the rest of my boys been telling me for years, “You’re too nice Joe…girls don’t really want that crap!”
I guess the jokes on me.
I should have taken their word for it a lifetime ago, and been mister bad boy, “player, player” while I was still young.
But nope...that would have been too easy…too predictable. Too stereotypical, for me, and my “I gotta be creative, think outside the box and color outside the lines” sensitive black ass.
So now here I am, divorced in my 30’s, and still have to be taking lippy advice from my well meaning but totally out to left field home girl Dayna!
…Calling ME a Neanderthal… CHUH!
I’m getting mad just thinking about it again.
Anyways, that’s not why I picked up my pen to write tonight, so that’s enough ranting about queen “know it all”. It’s time to think about something happy and pleasant. Like the beautifulness that caused me to be up so late writing in the first place.
The Lovely A. Lee :)
AHHHHHH….(insert image of heart beating out of chest ---> here) lol!
Just thinking about her cute face laughing and playing with me at work this morning, already makes me feel 100 times better.
Now THAT’S a girl that would give a man good reason to fly out of bed every morning, just to go work his ass off to keep her smiling.
And SHE’S the REAL reason why I’m reluctantly turning my sacred book of rhymes into a “journal” tonight.
(So take that! Dayna! You’re not right…and this is NOT me taking your advice!)
But since I can’t find a proper track to practice the song that Ms. Lee has inspired in me today, I figure I’ll settle for the next best thing and attempt to get my feelings out on paper instead.
Anyways, this is definitely a first…being smitten by a girl to the point of raving about her like I’m some kinda love struck teenage schoolgirl myself. I must be mad!
(If my homeboys could see me now! LOL!)
But screw it! …I’m a grown man, and I can do whatever the hell I want! (Besides, ain’t no way in HELL, Heaven AND Earth, I will EVER let my peeps lay their eyes on this book anyways! LOL!)
So I digress. Back to my “flavour of the month”, (or day in this case)…the Lovely A. Lee.
I could EASILY write a new song about her after the way she let me play with her all day at the office. If she didn’t already have a man, and I was even half as good looking as she is, I might actually have the nerve to record it and give it to her.
But, “not today Zurgg!”
As quietly shy as she is, the reality is, she’s way out of my league ( sigh)
Heck, before getting married, my last 3 girlfriends combined, weren’t even as cute as she is.
It’s too bad :(
Maybe if I had met her way back then…when I was still a young cool “brotha”, with the potential to actually become a huge rap star, MAYBE I would have had a chance.
As quietly shy as I was…at leastmy recording artist personamight have convinced her I was in her league.
BUT, that was another life.
Now I literally am just another everyday “Joe”. Punching the clock, heading into the office, and crushing on the cute girl in the cubicle next to me like half the male population in North America.
(…Boy I’m really living The Life! Lol!)
Well, I think I’ve vented enough. At the risk of playing into Dayna’s hand, I think it’s time to just write down the lyrics miss “office Girl” inspired (before my old ass brain forgets them – lol! ) and then go to my bed.
Joe Flow is Out!!
Oh…and 1 more thing. For the record: THIS IS NOT A POEM. (damn it! – lol!)
Good! So now that I’ve cleared that up, I give you the first verse of what may or may not become my “ode to Office Girl”
(unofficially titled “Too bad”)…
“TOO BAD”
Too bad a girl like you, could never be into a guy like me.
Too bad you’re married, but I’m crushing on you secretly.
See you’re a sweetheart, and you grow more intriguing every day.
Making our job seem less like work, and more like play.
Yeah, I playfully tease you, for “sitting down on the job” all day
Cause I’m so into you, when you’re around I never know what to say.
Still, it’s a funny thing though…and maybe this part is all in my head.
But your shy replies give me vibes like you’re crushing on me instead.
Yeah right! Who am I kidding…listen to me talking all crazy now.
No way you could be into a Joe like me…no chance, no way, no how.
Too bad.
:(
