Pattern Recognition (This Year's Naked Redhead)

It's not that hard to see the pattern
When I do it every single year
Latch onto a woman standing at the fire
And then give into my fear
I write some sappy fucking letter
And slip it into her bag
I hunt the same prey so often
They ought to fit me with a tag

You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's goddess in disguise
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's dust in my eyes

I got fucked up when I was a child
Fell in love with my good friend's sis
Since then I've kept coming to the plate
And every single swing is a miss
I can't help myself from falling
For you in the wink of an eye
When I think about the letter when I drive home
It makes me want to gag

You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's goddess in disguise
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's dust in my eyes

What do I want?
I only want you
What stands between?
I wish I knew
I'm a fuck up
Trying to pick you up
Now tell me baby
What about you?

You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's goddess in disguise
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's dust in my eyes
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's naked redhead

I brought a beer for your mistress
While you were packing up the car
I heard you say you're going to Manitoba
Wherever that is, it's far
The lady in my campsite said
She heard you'd been hurt before
The best thing about me is
I'm a man you can safely ignore

You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's goddess in disguise
You're this year's naked redhead
You're this year's dust in my eyes
