lyrics: |
  She was a dancer,
  She liked music that wasn't mine,
  A pop-culture junkie,
  Stole away all my time.

  My baby's name was April,
  And her reign lasted far too long.
  My pretty little girlfriend,
  My dirty blonde.

  How did a cheerleader,
  End up with a guy like me?
  You played with my heart,
  I guess that's just your fee.

  The all-American girl,
  And the not so normal guy.
  You had all the power,
  You made a stone-face cry.

  I heard she was cheatin',
  Then my trust was gone,
  My pretty little girlfriend,
  My dirty blonde.

  She was a dancer,
  She liked music that wasn't mine,
  A pop-culture junkie,
  Stole away all my time.

Track six on [*Just A Friend*](/albums/just-a-friend/) (**2006**). Character sketch: **April**, the *dirty blonde*: dancer, pop-culture junkie, cheerleader archetype against *the not so normal guy*. Cheating rumor kills what was left: *then my trust was gone.*
