If Women Like Jerks Then Why Am I Single by prouvaireiant

I submit to you my contribution to Epic Rant: The Album.

Not to the tune of Yankee Doodle as originally specified, but, you know, everything related to Grantaire has to be a little sweet and a lot sad. Lyrics by pilferingapples and midshipmankennedy.

Lyrics:

They say girls always pick the jerks
And never like the nice guys
I don’t think that’s how it works
Not how it looks to my eyes
Joly’s got his Musichetta
Say the same for Lesgles,
Courfeyrac can have his pick
But I’m a jerk and single
Use as evidence the case that
Bahorel’s well taken
But I’m twice the jerk that he is
And I’m still forsaken
Do I need a bigger…pay
To get girls to mingle?
If girls always go for jerks
Why am I still single?
