He used to care about himself
never cared for anybody else
but now, listen, kids, the story the other day
he went into the local store
like a million times before
contemplating who that was before him
oh my god

that will be $7.25, she said and said it with a smile
and although that was expensive
for an expired package of chewing gum
that he would not even dream of chewing on

She's a supermarket girlfriend and when she smiles he 
dreams away
he gets a discount every time he goes there
so he goes there every single day

some time went by then something changed
there lovely lives were erarranged
the place was turned into a gay store
another fairytale was about to be
convicted into endless misery

he wandered up and and down
across the town
but SMG was not around
but then it circulated rumors
that the same old store
was opening up next door
