I'm Looking for a Romantic
Lyrics by David Cameron Anderson, Davecamson Music ASCAP

Thank you for the invite, Dan (Sue)
It really sounds like fun
But dinner after five p.m.?
I'm sure to gain a ton
I'm not allowed to eat that late
That is what my guru said
I'm choosing to believe him
In support of what I've read 
Everything you eat at night
Quickly turns to fat.
Everything past 5 p.m.
And that, he says, is that!

Love to take a walk, Bernard  (Diane)
But not on my day off
I'm training like the runners do
It's odd, I used to scoff
Now I'm on a regimen
Now I've truly got a plan
The goal is self improvement
And I am doing all I can
5 days on and 2 days off
Only before 10
Ask me on a weekday morning
Have to wait 'till then

I really have to wonder
Where all the men (girls) have gone
I'm stuck with a book ev'ry evening
I'm always alone come the dawn
I enjoy these conversations    
It's great we share so much stuff
But I'm looking for a romantic
And from all indications, it's going to be tough

Picnic at the metro park?
Well Tim (Barb), sounds pretty good
It means I'm in the bright sunlight
Way longer than I should
what kind of (gal) guy is looking for
some old splotchy, wrinkly girl (guy)?   
a body looks like jerky?
Oh Tim, please, I'm gonna hurl.  (Come on Barb  what are you? high?)
You must think I've lost my mind   
Doofus in a dress (Crazy from the stress)
Don't you read the papers, Tim (Barb)?
The ozone's such a mess  

I really have to wonder
where all the men (girls) have gone
I'm stuck with a book ev'ry evening
I'm always alone come the dawn
I enjoy these conversations    
It's great that we share so much stuff
But I'm looking for a romantic
And from all indications, it's going to be tough
Yes, I'm looking for a romantic ASAP
A romantic!
Just like me!
