Bliss from Bad Apple by Sam Bayer

I didn't think
I'd find anyone who didn't mind my slurping when I drink
Or stopping strangers to criticize their clothes
Or picking my nose
I'm unbowed
By the idiotic things that I say out loud
You're not kind
But you don't seem to mind

I'd lay a bet
You despaired of sharing hating people you had never met
Or finding someone who didn't mind the volcano of your wrath
Or the ring in the bath
You're unbowed
By the undiplomatic things that you say out loud
I'm not kind
But I don't think I mind

And it's
Been bliss
From the first intemperate kiss
You were looking for a schmuck like me
And it's true
That I was looking for a jerk like you

I assume
You despaired of escaping the laundry jungle of your room
Or the dust bunnies who'd claim the final corner of the den
If they caught you again
Yet you agree
To every nitpicky rule inspired by my OCD
You're not kind
But I don't think I mind

And it's
Been bliss
From the first preposterous kiss
I was looking for a schmuck like you
And I see
That you were looking for a jerk

With a bee in his bonnet
And a stick up his ass
About the Law of the Seas
The nonexistence of God
We've spent so much time on it
That we could offer a class
Just two unpleasant peas
In an unpleasant pod

And I'll admit
That sometimes I think you you ought to scare me just a little bit
When you mutter things about the people you would put to death
Under your breath
And I'm not proud
That if the wrong folks were to overhear you say it out loud
I would let
Them know that we'd never met

And it's
Been bliss
From the first intemperate kiss
You were looking for a schmuck like me
And I knew
That I was looking for a schmuck like
You
It's bliss
From the first preposterous kiss
You were looking for a schmuck like me
And it's true
That I was looking for a jerk like you
