The story behind this song goes that Ben Folds was on probation with his record company, and contracted to write exactly 4.6 songs.
The .6 was Losing Lisa, which was co-written with his then-wife Frally Hynes.
[Verse 1]
I woke up and I drove to work on the wrong side of the road
And what the hell would I do? I must admit, I didn't know
And Andrew came along y'all to add a couple lines or so
I've got one I finished yesterday and I got 3.6 to go
[Chorus]
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
People tell me, "Ben, just make up junk and turn it in"
But I never was alright with turning in a bunch of shit
I don't like wasting time on music that won't make me proud
But now I've found a reason to sit right down and shit some out
[Chorus]
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
I love you more than any man has loved before
I love you more than all the stars up in the sky
I think that we should settle down and live happily forever after
What do you think of that?
[Verse 3]
I'm really not complaining, I realize it's just a job
And I hate hearing belly-aching rock stars whine and sob
'Cause I could be bussing tables, I could well be pumping gas
Yeah, but I get paid much finer for playing piano and kissing ass
This is one I wrote just an hour ago and 3.6 at last
[Chorus]
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
One down and 3.6
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm outta here
