I'm sad, because I did all of this work
And I probably won't get anything
For Valentine's Day.
I put it on the wall to show how much I care,
Replaced your carrot -- I put it over there.
On the windowsill
No matter what a preacher's daughter says
Even if she vehemently denies
That you need to
You still need to
Do some good by her with a rhyming card
You'll never be a writer but you break my heart
Like it's your job
I think it's your job
I'm sad cuz you beat me to it
Perfume for you, second-hand.
I'm sad cuz you beat me to it
Perfume for you, second-hand.
I'm sad because I did all of this work
And I probably won't get anything in return
For Valentine's Day

Madison's saving herself for marriage
She hasn't told anyone else but mother
She opened up her heart like a dove bar wrapper
Set herself apart by doing almost nothing
She aimed it at you, she aimed it at you
She aimed it at you -- tell me the truth
Madison tell me truth, tell me the truth
"Normalcy" is a word that Warren invented
And the lesser-known "Bloviate"
Which means I suppose to spout out bullshit
He never wanted to be President
And Madison too I voted for you, I'm all for you
Just tell me the truth, tell me the truth
Madison tell me the truth tell me the truth
Whether you're good or bad, you ain't gonna last
And I'm good and bad
I'm packing my bags, I'm leaving in Cleveland
By the people's demand
Binge listening to Salad Days
The rose you gave me has too many names
Madison's saving herself for marriage
She hasn't told anyone else but mother
She took the LSATS in Mexico City!
Just tell me the truth, tell me the truth
Madison tell me the truth tell me the truth

I've been looking at you for a long, long time. And working at your restaurant. Single people wanna throw us in the fire, and then get married, and have kids and a home. I never wanna be that way, although now I'm falling apart. I'm down to clown, hell yes, but that's not all. I've been looking at you that way for a long long time, counting cards in safety. I don't wanna put no money down, because something might happen to us. Any idiot could save up for it but love knows it's not enough. It really makes me "look both ways," try to flutter my fan in the right way, day by day, a ha'penny to make love... I've been looking at you for a long, long time, asking "hey can I feel happy now? Has the planet turned?" That's not a friend! That's the gardener. I wanna be lovely, don't wanna delay. I'm finally on the rolling ball and headed for the pavement. The way she skips this town, I never could be warm again in Ecuador (I was born here). I'm never gonna give up on you now -- I haven't heard an answer. I only want a frame, not an easel; single people, I've had it up to here. Look at it that way. Even babies laugh at all I say. I wish that it was "catch and throw back" -- but I don't think anybody's waiting for me with a lantern, out there in the longish night.

I thought by using my head, I'd screw it on straighter
But now I'm losing my head, and sooner or later (I hope that it's later)
I won't look good, I won't look good
I just won't look good.
So don't try to be my rightie tightie Robin Hood
Why won't you be my leftie leftie loosie love for good,
Celibate Valentine?
OFFICER: Calm down stop hyperventilating, did you see which way he was going?
WITNESS: Down the steps, then he disappeared
OFFICER: Did you see what color pants he was wearing?
WITNESS: Um... what color pants, sir?
OFFICER: Well, was he wearing pants?
WITNESS: I don't know... but he was singing this song, saying "I won't look good I won't look good I just won't look good"
So don't try to be my rightie tightie Robin Hood
Why won't you be my leftie leftie loosie love for good,
Celibate Valentine?
