Lyrics

[00:41] A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs,
[00:43] But I've never been good with plants
[00:48] Her next presentation, a new dictionary
[00:51] She circled the word "romance"
[00:55] So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic,
[00:58] I shaved her name in my head
[01:02] As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it;
[01:05] Need more be said?
[03:19][01:56][01:09] These apples are delicious!
[03:24][02:00][01:14] "As a matter of fact they are," she said
[03:26][02:03][01:16] Can all this fruit be free?
[01:27] She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book
[01:31] I've never been big on mail
[01:34] I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge,
[01:37] And wondered if it still went by rail
[01:42] I've never been frightened of being enlightened
[01:45] But some things can go too far
[01:49] Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar,
[01:52] You get what my meanings are
[02:13] I'm not trying to sing a love song -- I'm trying to sing in tune
[02:18] I know I am sometimes headstrong
[02:25] Falling in love, catching fire -- I want to be consumed
[02:32] Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire?
