lyrics

I was talking with my baby just the other day
She said, “ Greg, what you think of my hair this way?”
And, “ What do you think of my legs in this dress?”
Followed by, “ Why did you marry me? Please confess “

Well if you’re like me you’ll leave well enough alone
I never dally with those questions from the twilight zone
I mustered up my courage took a graceful side step
Cleared my throat, mopped my brow and without sounding flip

I said, I love you, I love you, I love you for what you’re not
Some fly by nighter who belongs under the big top
Some visa chomping alien wearing make-up by the glop
Or teeny bopping belly ringed short shirt selling pop
OOOOOOOohh baby, I love you for what you’re not

Well this years our 11th anniversary
And I’d like to say there’s a reason thats come to be
Whenever I’ve been faced with those questions from the hip
I try to remember that one very helpful tip

I say, I love you, I love you, I love you for what you’re not
Its guaranteed to shoe horn you out of a tight spot
When disaster is lurking on your very tongue tip
Be strong with your reply don’t let your backbone slip

Just say, I love you, I love you, I love you for what you’re not
Some fly by nighter who belongs under the big top
Some visa chomping alien wearing make-up by the glop
Or teeny bopping belly ringed short shirt selling pop
OOOOOOOohh baby, I love you for what you’re not
