  • There's this one guy
    There's no one like him in all of the world
    'Cause you can always see those girls down on their knees
    In those dark sweaty rooms
    Planning out his thoughts
    He's waiting for just the right

    One by one as they
    Walk right through the door, they
    Keep on coming back I
    Guess they just want more

    He has fun, fun, fun as you
    Might call him a whore, but
    Just look where he's at 'cause
    He is the one that scores

    Well Tom, it looks like he's
    Passing the ball to his tight end
    I wasn't sure if he knew
    That a tight end could be a wide receiver
    But haha, little does he know
    Yeah, he won't be alone this weekend I don't think
    That's funny that you say that because uh
    Like a dog, he's loyal to his bone

    I saw my friend there
    Out on the field today
    I asked him where he was going
    He said "All the way" now

    One by one as they
    Walk right through the door, they
    Keep on coming back I
    Guess they just want more

    He has fun, fun, fun as you
    Might call him a whore, but
    Just look where he's at 'cause
    He is the one that scores, go Writer/s: Mark Hoppus, Scott Raynor, Tom DeLonge
