how many times can this happen to me
when i've got places to go and i've got people to see
you stand me up
you let me down
how am i supposed to get myself across town
i'll give you my nickles and dimes
if i only thought that you were gonna be there on time
la la la
my nickels and dimes
well i could stand here wastin' my day
you're a half an hour late and you're still makin' me pay
you stand me up
you let me down
how am i supposed to get myself across town
i'll give you my nickles and dimes
if i only thought that you were gonna be there on time
la la la
my nickles and dimes
i'll give you my nickles and dimes
if i only thought that you were gonna be there on time
la la la
my nickles and dimes
i think i've been stood up
are you ever gonna come and pick me up
just standin' here wastin' my day
you're a half an hour late and you're still makin' me pay
i think i've been stood up
well are you ever gonna come and pick me up
