When I saw her sing, I latched onto her talent
Like a love-lorn leach and hoped that she would notice me
With my three chords, and day job at the music store
And smoke-soaked brain, a hobo on a speeding train
I walk down, find your flyer on the ground
A voice in need, I'd love to think it could be me
I won't lie, I haven't let a day go by
Without what you wrote
And singing every single note
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
I'm not in love
This is purely professional
We'll share this mic
But only if it feels alright
I'm feeling shy
I can barely meet your eye
Let's start the show
Grab the mic and go
Let's go
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
Shake it out
What do you want?
I wanna break loose
Now cut it up
Like footloose
Come on, let's go
We're singing "oh, oh"
Come one, let's go
We gotta know
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
