I saw him standing there by the copy machine
I knew he must have gotten his suit dry-cleaned
The pleat was sharp and strong
Too bad his tie was wrong

And I could smell cologne too strong
Still, he had hygiene, yeah, clean
And I could smell cologne too strong
Still, he would see me, yeah, me

Singing, I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
So by lunchtime, he’ll glance at me

Owww!

He smiled, so I threw up
And asked for his name
“That don’t matter,” he said
“Call me Hall Of Fame”

I said, “Can I have your phone?”
It was like the Twilight Zone

“Your text, I’m improving on”
And he would agree, yeah, see?
Text he was checking on
“Post it and see, yeah, see”

Singing, I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
So by springtime, freelance with me

Yowww!

[Guitar solo]

I handed back his phone
He plugged in his earphones

And next, he was grooving on
A little KC, yeah, C
And he was grooving on and singing that same old song
Yeah, with me

Singing, I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
So by suppertime, it’s France with me

I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
Turn on Amazon Prime, watch Expanse with me

I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
Working overtime like a trainee

I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
A little Anaheim romance with me

I love setting goals
Put another check in the checkbox, baby
I love setting goals
So by springtime, freelance with me
