On the air at WESU Middletown on March 29th with accompaniment from jCherry and the Strawberries.
lyrics
Verse 1
Its the desk unkept, or its the towel on the floor
I better say this right or I wont say nothing no more
Its not that I didn't try or I that don't anymore
I wanna do it right but its never complete
And I really don't care for those tucked in sheets,
We make it a war, but we just wanna sleep
Verse 2
Basement leaking the walls creaking
I do my best and hope the rest
knight in shining armor and storybook dream
I'll love you in a house and I'll love you with a mouse
if ya throw out money, theres not a worry in the world
Just call me me honey and we'll give this a whirl!
I'll love in a house
I'll love you with a mouse
I'll love you in a box
I'll love you like a fox
Chorus
Then all I can say
Are Dr. Seuess I love Yous
Then all I can I say,
Is that I'll love you forever
But everything else still matters
I can do much better
We have more to offer
Verse 3
First year of our lives and we are coming out strong
Didn't win a fight, I just changed the side I'm on,
I'll walk this part, and do all I can
and everytime I'm wrong, a its chance to get it right
Your the one, its useless to fight
Chorus
Now I could say,
whatever makes you happy
Now I could say,
words with no meaning
But I will say,
We have more to offer,
and life could be much better,
we must work all the harder,
our love will make us stronger,
Extended Chorus
And I will say,
All that still needs saying
because our life is worth more than playing
silly futile games
And I will say,
its worth every penny we're saving,
as love is continually gaining,
which culminates in marriage
and that will lead to a family
its a life ill trade for no another,
Verse 4
Take me I'm yours, lets grab life by the horns
kids, a minivan, and a closed-in porch
we got 50 so years to live before we die
so lets get started and pretend we know how
its the life we want, lets not risk that now
Chorus
Then I can say,
I loved you with my actions
Then I can say,
It was never infatuation,
I love you now and always
Let our lives show the merit,
Of the love it took to make it
Its the desk unkept, or its the towel on the floor
I better say this right or I wont say nothing no more
Its not that I didn't try or I that don't anymore
I wanna do it right but its never complete
And I really don't care for those tucked in sheets,
We make it a war, but we just wanna sleep
Verse 2
Basement leaking the walls creaking
I do my best and hope the rest
knight in shining armor and storybook dream
I'll love you in a house and I'll love you with a mouse
if ya throw out money, theres not a worry in the world
Just call me me honey and we'll give this a whirl!
I'll love in a house
I'll love you with a mouse
I'll love you in a box
I'll love you like a fox
Chorus
Then all I can say
Are Dr. Seuess I love Yous
Then all I can I say,
Is that I'll love you forever
But everything else still matters
