Okay, guess what: I never read the letter
"Dear John, goodbye; I'll bet I'll see you later"
Haha -- you wish; you think I'm broken down, but
Haha -- no way; I'll always be your clown
Take a little time to return the favor
"I love you, too"
Finish the chapter, turn the page
Sum ergo amor, my baby, it's true
Oh, oh, oh, the summer sun sets over you
They say you wrote the book
Then threw it in the fireplace
Dust jacket under cover
Another love from another lover
Ill will, chills, and thrills
Keep popping those pills, pills, pills
I'm worth another look
Just try to keep a straight face
Don't stop making me feel
Feel the way I did
I loved the way you'd make
All my dreams come true
Mamas don't let your babies
Grow up to be trainers
Let them live their dreams
Live their dreams for you
I AM, THEREFORE I LOVE YOU
BUT I AM NOT A SLAVE TO LOVE
I AM A TRANSIENT WALKING THE STREETS FOR YOU
I AM THE KNIGHT WHO IS WAITING TO RESCUE YOU
