Rockin' it Out.

Back in 1999 or so, the song, "Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me for Me) was incredibly popular. Performed by Blessid Union of Souls, it was a song that you could belt out at the top of your lungs - guy or girl.

Blessid Union of Souls came and did a concert at North Georgia when I was there for homecoming. I was plastered up against the front of the stage. Me, and my Janeane Garafalo self elbowing the obnoxious blonde sorostitutes from getting in MY way. So when Hey Leonardo rocked out, the ENTIRE gym (as that's where our stage was - funny, I know - kinda like older elementary schools with the stage in the cafeteria's?) was singing so incredibly loudly. I've liked the song ever since - almost 9 years running now.


Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics

Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)



She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch to much t.v.

And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go
I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when

She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in "Fargo"
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again

And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling
as we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
what we're made of in the end

She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I am such a hottie
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see

She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
Unlike the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Found her once again
I'm so glad I found her once again
On again
