The blog Ukulele Hunt wrote that of all the cuts on Soko's original EP, this song "...suits the ukulele much more. The chords are fairly simple and it’s a fun track to play (and to listen to)...everything is tuned slightly sharp (about a quarter of a fret). So, if you want to play along with the record, you’ll have to tune to the song itself. The best way to do that is tune up the C string while listening to the song (since the song is in the key of C, it’ll sound right most of the time when it’s in tune). When it’s in tune, stop listening to the record and tune the rest of the strings from the C string: the G string is the same as the C string played at the 7th fret, the E string is the same as the C string played at the 4th fret and the A string is the same as the G string played at the 2nd fret."
LYRICS
I can't be me when I'm in front of you
I just can't be myself when I see you
because you're very cute tonight
and I feel shy and sad and I
look at you
and I think I love you
but you don't want me
and that is very clear
I should have noticed it for years
but I still want you but not as a friend
because
you're the man, I'm the girl,
we look good together
you with your hat, me with my boots
we are, we are, the dandy cowboys
I read today in a magazine
that men don't like girls who are
shy and sad so now
I wear my magic smile, just for you
I put my magic boots; I ride my magic horse
I am so brave, I don't fear anything
I even feel guts growing
Under my skirt. I rob all the banks
and give the money, to daddy
because
you're the man, I'm the girl,
we look good together
you with your hat, me with my boots
we are, we are, the dandy cowboys
and now I'm the richest girl in all the country
you call me 'baby' you say you want me
but honey, it's too late
now I'm the queen of rodeo
you missed your chance
you're no longer my hero
you're bitchy dandy
you don't respect the rules
you stole my money
and ran away with your bunnie
and now I'm gonna kill you
I'll shoot you in the head
now I'm gonna kill you
I'm gonna shoot you in the head
because
you're the man, I'm the girl,
we look good together
you with your hat, me with my boots
we are, we are, the dandy cowboys
the dandy cowboys
you didn't want me and that was very clear
I will never never forget it
but I still a hope that hats and boots can get along together
I still hope that hats and boots can get along together
I still hope that hats and boots can get along together
I hope that we get along
