a friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs
but i've never been good with plants
her next presentation, a new dictionary
she'd circled the word "romance"
so enthusiastic, a little bit drastic
i shaved her name in my head
and as she beheld it, she said i misspelled it;
need more be said?
[chorus:]
these apples are delicious!
"as a matter of fact they are," she said
can all this fruit be free?
she wrote me a letter as big as a phonebook
i've never been big on mail
i sent her a postcard from somewhere near lethebridge
and wondered if it still went by rail
i've never been frightened of being enlightened
but some things can go too far
though sometimes i stammer and mix up my grammar,
you get what my meanings are
[chorus]
i'm not trying to sing a love song - i'm trying to sing in tune.
i know i am sometimes headstrong
falling love, catching fire - i want to be consumed
wondering will i ever tire, will i ever tire??
[chorus] |
