When I was first learning of love as a teenager
One source gave me all my ideas and theories
Jane Austen's masterpiece work, Pride and Prejudice
Or actually, the 1995 BBC mini-series
Oh that Mr.Darcy, so gruff and so distant
With a sensitive spirit just waiting to shine
There's a good reason that women love jerks
It seems like a fantastic idea at the time

When I was 19 I traveled to Europe
To study and learn and go clubbing and drink
There was a cute boy in my history lessons
Who hailed from near London and mostly ignored me
So, of course, I fell for him and his charming voice
His detachment and rudeness got me in a snap
He finally noticed me at the end of semester
Took me on one date and treated me like crap

If you meet a gentleman hailing from England
Don't be so impressed; hold on to your heart
Just because a guy has a British accent
Does not mean he's witty or decent or smart.
If a boy treats you with tasteful indifference
If he is handsome, but bristly and cold
Don't be intrigued just because he's ignoring you
Not every asshole has a heart of gold
