lyrics

He's everything she never wanted
She is the one he settled for
There's not a thing they have in common
They're making out on the kitchen floor

Gee, it's easy to see
These two people were meant to be

She stays up late, he gets up early
He's got a job, she has a lot of debt
He hates the way she doesn't like his mother
Some Saturdays they don't get out of bed

Gee, it's easy to see
These two people were meant to be

And he'll take her out Chili's if she can take out the trash this week
And she'll make him lunch if he won't make her clean
And she says she'll watch a silent movie but only if he agrees
To sit through the Transformers trilogy

Not happily quite ever after
The fairy tale they thought it would be
When times are hard he puts an arm around her
Looks in her eyes and she can't help laughing

Gee, it's easy to see
These two people were meant to be
