lyrics
If there was a series of words to describe
The way I felt for her inside
Don’t you think I would've used them on her already?
And if they had the power to persuade her to stay
With me on the lap of poverty
I’d tattoo it all over me and she’s by my one and only steady
Her kisses take all the breathe from me
The only life I’ve left in me
I love her with such intensity
Italians have that propensity
I’d genuflect for her on one knee
But then she’d lose all respect for me
Why do I gotta prove that
That’s my girl?
We had a love that couldn’t last
It burned too hot
It burned too fast and now it’s in the rear view mirror
Listen!
Once in a while she misses me
She counts on my dependability
Then she dismisses me before getting any nearer
For me there’s only one ying to my yang
She’s my Ava and I’m her Frank
She pitches a ball and I’m in the tank
For her I’d walk a million planks
She levels me like a well timed prank
She doesn’t have to say please or thanks
She collects interest in my memory banks
That’s my girl
You won’t see her on social media
It compromises her mystery
Everybody wants to be my successor
But she won’t ever set me free
She’s the biggest slice of my pie chart
The kind of a woman I can’t outsmart
She mix me up like a Cuisinart
Like a five year old child lost at Walmart
I’m all exposed no camouflage
just like Jesus with his 3d heart
A-glowing and a-hurting through my shirt
Why do I always gotta prove that
That 's my girl
Meanwhile back in my lonely room
I'm losing the smell of her perfume
Sealed wih a kiss that seals my doom
That's my girl
