Sometimes I push it a little too hard Fall asleep in my friend's backyard And when I see you, I crumple into a puddle But you put your rain jacket over my puddle Cure my woes with your every cuddle You're like a sale at the mattress discount store I try too hard to be tough too often I never want to break down But you always seem to give me good old loving I don't have to play it cool when you're around I wish I saved more energy for you Instead I disperse it around in the blue Talking to squid and doing mass spectrometry But you're like a meadow in the middle of July I love it when you pick me up and sit me on your thigh I feel like a kid who gets to talk to Santa Claus I try too hard to be tough too often I never want to break down But you always seem to give me good old loving I don't have to play it cool when you're around
