Lyrics

Valentine

[Verse 1]

You didn't see my valentine

I sent it via pantomime

While you were watching someone else

I stared at you and cut myself

That's all I'll do cause I'm not free

A fugitive too dull to flee

I'm amorous but out of reach

A still life drawing of a peach

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm a tulip in a cup

I stand no chance of growing up

I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done

I watch you live to have my fun

[Chorus]

I root for you, I love you

You you you you

I root for you, I love you

You, you, you, you

[Verse 2]

I made it to a dinner date

My teardrops seasoned every plate

I tried to dance but lost my nerve

I cramped up in the learning curve

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm a tulip in a cup

I stand no chance of growing up

I'm resigned to sail on through

In the wake of tales of you

[Chorus]

I root for you, I love you

You you you you

I root for you, I love you

You, you, you

I root for you, I love you

You you you, you you you you

I root for you, I love you

You, you, you
