It was written on my mind like the back of an envelope
Rehearsed and very carefully in reach.
My cool cucumber non-committal speech
That I wrote while hanging out down at the beach.
And I shivered from the cold of the ice in my granite heart
Knowing that you didn't have a prayer
And then I rang the bell and you were there and darling
Then your face was full of me
And then your eyes were too (were too)
And I knew that you knew that I knew that
You knew that I knew that you knew that
I knew that you knew that I knew.
I regained my self-control and I tried to close my big fat mouth
Before 'i love you' fell out on the floor.
I didn't feel like that man anymore
I hit my funny elbow on the floor.
And then your brother asked if I had money for a haircut
And the pimple on my neck began to hurt
Suddenly I wished I'd changed my shirt and darling
Then your face was full of me
And then your eyes were too (were too)
And I knew that you knew that I knew that
You knew that I knew that you knew that
I knew that you knew that I knew.
