Lyrics

While ev ’ry bod y else is get ting out of bed, I’m u sually get ting in it.

I’m not in it to win it;

My feet have been on the floor, flat like an “I dol” sing er.

I con fess, you are the best thing in my (G)life.

But I’m a fraid when I hear sto ries ’bout hus band and wife; there’s no (G)hap py end ings, no Hen ry Lee.

But you are the great est thing a bout me.

(G5)If

it’s love

and we de cide that it’s for ev er, no one else could do it bet ter.

(G5)If

it’s love

and we’re two birds of a feath er, then the rest is just when ev er.

And (G5)if I’m ad dict ed to lov ing you and you’re ad dict ed to my love, too, (Em7)we can be them two birds of a feath er that (Dsus)flock to geth er.

Took a loan on a house I own; can’t be a queen bee with out a bee throne.

I wan na buy you ev ’ry thing ex cept co logne, ’cause it’s poi son.

We can trav el to Spain, where the rain falls main ly on the plain.

Sounds in sane, ’cause it is.

We can laugh, we can sing, have ten kids and give ’em ev ’ry thing.

Hold our (G)cell phones up in the air and just be glad that we made it here a (Dsus)live, on a (G)spin ning ball in the (G)mid dle of space.

I (D)love you from your toes to your face.
