Reapplied lipstick meeting Mr. fix it
At 8 o'clock he's not picking me up
I know he's not the right one to many buttons undone
On his shirt it could be worse
Pre-Chorus:
I've always had someone to hold my hand
You know it's hard without a man
Everyone says that I'll be fine
But in the back of my mind
Chorus:
I'd rather be a hot mess
Stay in bed when I am depressed
Not even bother getting dressed
Call up my ex's cause I'm reckless
But I don't want to be Loveless
I've got another date lined up for wednesday
At the local bar he's got a muscle car
He says when I'm ready he'll let me feels its hemi
His thing for speed right now it's what I need
Pre:
I've never understood what is meant to be
What's wrong with temporary
Some may think its just a waste of time
But in the back of my mind
Chorus:
I'd rather be relentless
Forget my birthday cause I'm thoughtless
Cut coupons when I'm jobless
Stay up all night cause I'm restless
But I don't want to be Loveless
Pre:
Sometimes love can be blind
But in the back of mind
Chorus:
I'd rather be a hot mess
Stay in bed when i'm depressed
Not even bother getting dressed
Call up my ex's cause I'm reckless
But I don't want to be Loveless

Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
