lyrics
i love you
and you love me
and ain't that the way
it's supposed to be?
i swing my stick legs ’round at the root
and pile drive each foot into a platform boot
and i'm up and i'm out
‘cuz i'm bouncing off the walls
and i come when i’m called
and you called
i got a super-cute three-piece suit
one piece for your body
one piece for your smile
one more little piece
if you stay a while
i gotta beeline double time
leave my home sweet home for your honeycomb
then i show up steady, ready and proud
and i find i've forgotten how to talk out loud
isn't it just like you
to bring me to my knees
in my brand new stockings
while the cat is out with my tongue
isn't it just like you
to bring me to my knees
in my brand new stockings
love makes me feel so dumb
and you love me
and ain't that the way
it's supposed to be?
i swing my stick legs ’round at the root
and pile drive each foot into a platform boot
and i'm up and i'm out
‘cuz i'm bouncing off the walls
and i come when i’m called
and you called
i got a super-cute three-piece suit
one piece for your body
one piece for your smile
one more little piece
if you stay a while
i gotta beeline double time
leave my home sweet home for your honeycomb
then i show up steady, ready and proud
and i find i've forgotten how to talk out loud
isn't it just like you
to bring me to my knees
in my brand new stockings
while the cat is out with my tongue
isn't it just like you
to bring me to my knees
in my brand new stockings
love makes me feel so dumb
