We're About 9: Love Songs

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

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"
