lyrics

Lyrics:

I like you and you like me
you like all that I can be
isn’t it a funny thing now
I know you and you know me
I know this is meant to be
isn’t it a funny thing now
I will be the world for you
if you will be the world for me
humor me

you say it
like you mean it
that my hair is very nice
even though
it’s falling out
along with all my lice
but then you say
that you’ll take me
come fire famine plague or flood
I pinky swear with ketchup blood
I’m yours

I like you

you laughed at
my only suit
said I looked like a plum
even though
it’s navy blue
and you look like a bum
but still you say
that you’ll take me
come fire famine plague or flood
I pinky swear with ketchup blood
I’m yours

I like you

do you remember that time when we
sat on the swings after dark when we
talked and then you reached for me---
and fell on your face in the mulch

I like you
