Knee-Jerk Love
Jim Pascoe

I live alone in a one-bedroom apartment
I ain't got any rules
About when to do the laundry, when to do the dishes
Whenever the mood hits me
I smoke a cigarette, dance around naked
Maybe sing in my underwear
It's not that I'm especially romantic
It's that sometime the mood just hits me
And I need a little temporary love
And it just seems right...

'Cause when I see ya (knee-jerk love)
Walking down the street (knee-jerk love)
God, I want your (knee-jerk love)
Gotta have your (knee-jerk love)
Right now

We can go to an all-night family restaurant
We can order hot fudge sundaes
Talk about how much I hate the French
And the people from New Jersey
She doesn't want to leave but she doesn't want to kiss me
That's okay, I can always call her sister
It's not that she's especially attractive
It's that sometime the mood just hits me
And I need a little in-and-outta love
And it just seems right...

'Cause when I see ya (knee-jerk love)
Walking down the street (knee-jerk love)
God, I want your (knee-jerk love)
Gotta have your (knee-jerk love)
Right now

All the girls say I'm insensitive
'Cause I haven't got a clue
How to make a woman feel special
Without feeling used

I'm all alone in my one-bedroom apartment
My private parts are getting kinda itchy
I think I need a little knee-jerk love
But all the lesbians have moved away to Russia
Sometime love is like a broken fire hydrant
Sometime love is like National Socialism
Don't pretend you know what I'm saying
It's that sometimes the mood overwhelms me
And I feel like a temporary love
And it just seems right
It just seems right
She just seems right...

'Cause when I see ya (knee-jerk love)
Walking down the street (knee-jerk love)
God, I want your (knee-jerk love)
Gotta have your (knee-jerk love)
Right now
