i've mentioned this song to a couple of people (possibly just joes and chelsea) but nobody else seems to have heard of it before. i guess it only became popular in the philippines? i wonder what that means.

Be My Number Two - Joe Jackson

Won't you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won't be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue

And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy
I'll leave it up to you

And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action

And every time I look at you
You'll be who I want you to
And I'll do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you'd be, if you'd be my number two

INSTRUMENTAL

And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action

And every time I look at you
You'll be who I want you to
And I'll do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you'd be, if you'd be my number...two

INSTRUMENTAL

now, the song itself is actually pretty good (you can listen to a clip of it on amazon). but the message leaves a lot to be desired. what a question to ask someone huh?

so i bought a fresh box of kleenex this afternoon when i stopped by target to stock up on drugs. i'm already halfway through it. i hate having a cold! the skin around my nose is now red and irritated from all the rubbing and nose-blowing. i hope it goes away soon.
