Jonas brothers - Poor unfortunate souls
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange.
But you'll find that nowadays,
I've mended all my ways.
Repented, seen the light, and made a change.
And I fortunately know a little secret.
It's a talent that I always have possessed.
And dear lady, please don't laugh,
I use it on behalf
of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)
Poor unfortunate souls.
In pain.
In need.
This one’s longing to be thinner,
that one wants to get the girl.
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls,
so sad,
so true.
They come flocking to me crying:
"Will you help us pretty, please?"
And I help them!
Yes I do!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber.
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word.
And after all dear, what is idle patter for?
They're not all that impressed with conversation.
True gentlemen avoid it when they can.
But they dote and swoon and fawn,
on ladies who withdrawn.
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man. Poor unfortunate souls.
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day.
It won't cost much,
just your voice!
Those poor unfortunate souls,
so sad,
so true,
If you wanna cross the bridge, my sweet,
you've got the pay the toll.
Take a gulp.
Take a breath.
Go ahead!
Sign the scroll!
Nick and Kevin,
now I've got her, boys.
The boss is on a roll.
You poor unfortunate souls.
In pain.
In need.

Yes, indeed!
