I started with a grimace, you started with a smile. You said, "It doesn't hurt yet." And I said, "Wait a while." I told you that I loved you. You told me, "Don't say that." You called me naïve, and I called you old hat.
And there are so many things that I haven't seen, and you're the closest to so many of 'em I will ever be.
You told me you were worried, I said, "My love's intact." You said that it's a theory, but I told you it's a fact. I told you that I loved you, you told me, "Don't say that again." I asked you if you loved me too, and you said, "That depends."
It looks to me like you could use just a little cheer, and there's a man who loves you and he could pull it off right here.
