我的射手座女友 My Sagittarius Girlfriend – Yen-J 嚴爵
作詞：嚴爵
作曲：椎名林檎
編曲：嚴爵
她心很善良 可是她的美有毒
長得太性感 讓我患得又患失
我擔心 當我不在 她的身邊的時候
別的男生 一定會發動攻勢
雖然 她也 無視 至少她曾 對天發誓
眼中只有我 一個豬頭
她愛耍白癡 常常說出下意識
說小豬多帥 前男友是高個子
我只有 一百七十五公分以前甚至 覺得自己 身高超OK
直到 跟她 認識 以後 開始 鞋子 塞個 墊子
淡定地假裝籃球選手
低頭親她 額頭 喔 喔 喔
世上沒有絕對的事
怎麼愛絕對不關你的事
但我希望 寫得出更絕對的詞
給她絕對的幸福
她愛做家事 炒的飯不加味素
她不喜歡我到處亂丟臭襪子
要是她 沒有作我的家庭主婦我想 我會變成 一隻豬 或者
垂頭喪氣自暴自棄 她讓 我 如醉又如癡
她是我的醋 讓苦甜了
甜的變更甜了
