A song I wrote based on a text message from a friend of mine to his girlfriend.
lyrics
You like gettin flowers,
Flowers ain't my style,
They're just temporary
Only live a little while,
They fade unlike these feelings,
Shrivel in the dark,
But words can live forever
When they come right from the heart,
(spoken)
And speakin of hearts,
YOu little troublemaker...
I don't know how, but you stole it
Gone, in one fleeting little moment
You took my heart, played with my mind
But I don't mind, hell, why would I mind?
All I never wanted,
And just what I deserve,
Only lookin for a little,
So girl you got some nerve,
Makin' yourself my favorite,
So you're all I'm thinkin' of,
This tough-as-nails roughneck,
Just hisself in love;
(spoken)
Love - a feelin 'bout as sweet as hepatits
And as much fun as getting punched in the junk by some
Big ol' mama who stuffed her shirt
With two burlap sacks filled with oatmeal -
Or it used to be that way 'til I met you, and now,
Well, I just can't get enough
You took my heart and now you own it
Gone, in one fleeting little moment
You took my heart, played with my mind
But I don't mind, why would I mind?
You're so fine, why would I mind?
Your love's devine, why would I mind?
And you all mine, so hell, why would I mind?
