We're About 9 - Love Songs текст песни

I mean to write you love songs, baby
But every time I try
Our love does something unexpected
And I have to rewrite
I should have seen this coming
It's my favorite love song line
But I wrote that one just for you
So you would see that I was trying

I wouldn't say our love is a long stem rose
Sometimes it's a crocus
I wouldn't say our love is as clear as a crystal
Sometimes it's out of focus
I wouldn't say our love is a glass of wine
Sometimes it's a bottle
I wouldn't say our love is a leisurely ride
Not once it hits full throttle

By ya ba bada bump bum by
By yum bump bada by
By ya ba bada bump bum by

By yump bum by
Hey yump bump bada bump ba by
By yump bump bada by

Now I don't ever sing "mm mm mm mm mm mm"
And I'll never sing "Hey, Hey, Hey"
I don't know what that means, baby
But it seems like a waste of space
"Mm mm mm mm mm"
And I'll never sing "Ew, ew, ew"
That's the sound I make when I'm disgusted, baby
Not the way that I feel about you

So I wouldn't say our love is a walk in the sunlight,
Sometimes it's a shadow
I wouldn't say our love is a frontal lobe
Or I might do the oblongato
I wouldn't say our love is a classical opera
Sometimes it's a rap
"Hey, yo, listen up, can I have your attention,
Yump bump bada bump bum by"

By ya ba bada bump bum by
By yump bump bada by
By ya ba bada bump bum by
By yump bum by
Hey yump bump bada bump ba by
By yump bump bada by

By yump bump ba bump
By yump bump bum
By yump bump ba bum

I mean to write you love songs, baby
But every time I try
Our love does something unexpected
And I have to rewrite
I should have seen this coming
It's my favorite love song line
But I wrote that one just for you
So you would see that I was trying
