Happy V-Day!
I Believe It
When I told you your eyes are pretty
brighter than the high lights of new york city
I wasn't lying
I believe it's true
When I told you your face could sell makeup
even when you've got none right after you wake up
I wasn't lying
I believe it, it's true
When I told you your soul was a beautiful sight
when I told you your hair kinda lets off its own light
when I told you your thoughts were genius refined
I could not have been further from telling a lie
When I told you your words are elegant truffles
Even when you slur them with your nose full of snuffles
I wasn't lying
Oh, believe it, it's true
Oh when you walk away
On your worst looking day
You look so cute
My mind can't of one thing
I could compare you to, so
When I say you sing prettier than angels
Just when you were warbling like a sparrow out of tune
I wasn't lying, darling, no
I believe it, it's true
