Good work on the filk, Hayes, but I felt that I had to make some
modifications to make it synrhythmous(TM).

"Self Esteem", by HAYES (edited by Air Hadoken)


La! La! LaLaLaLa! La! La! LaLaLaLa!

Dunnanunt Da Dunnanunt....

I saw her walking on a nice sunny day
I practiced all the things I would say...
But when she walked up, I lost my nerve
She beat me up, and I guess I deserve...

Now I know I beening used
But that's OK because I like the abuse
I know she's playin' with me,
But that's OK 'cause I got no self-esteem

Oh Way - yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah-heh! heh! Heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!

Now around guys, I act real tough,
I kick 'em 'round till they've all had enough.
I kick some ass, in battle I always reign supreme,
But 'round the girls I got no self esteem!

Oh Way - yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah-heh! heh! Heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!

When she says, OH! that she wants only me,
Then I wonder why she bonks on my head!
When she says OH! all I do is displease,
Then I wonder how much more I can stand!

Well I guess I should stick up for myself,
But I really think it's better this way.
The more you suffer; the more it shows you really care...
Right?  Yeah....

...

Now I'll admitt that I like this bit:
It happens more than I'd like to admit:
Late at night, she knocks on my door,
She's lemon-scented and lookin' to score.

Now I know, I should say "no"...
But it's kinda hard when she's ready to go!
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb,
I'm just a she--male with low self esteem!

Oh Way - yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah-heh! heh! Heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!
Oh! Yeah-heh! Yeah-heh heh!


*When she says, OH! that she wants only me,
Then I wonder why she bonks on my head!
When she says OH! all that I do is tease,
Then I wonder how much more I can stand!

Well I guess I should stick up for myself,
But I really think it's better this way.
The more you suffer; the more it shows you really care...
Right?  Yeah....
