I have a friend, who has a friend who has a house
On the way to your house
And I can stop in there and take a shower
And put on some deodorant
And I found a store near their house, it's not a store
With Wal or Mart in the name of it and I can't stop in there
And buy new underwear, 'cause it's been a while
Just incase they fall at the foot of your bed
I'm no good at writing love songs
I'm all thumbs and butterflies
I want to hear about your childhood
Tonight might be the start of something
And I have a friend, who has a friend that is your friend
And your friend told them that you like me
And I have to say, my dear I'm pretty fond of you as well
And I want to take you out and buy you things that I can't afford
Because the things I do in life, my dear, they hardly pay at all
But I'm guessing you know and can love me for who I am
But I'm no good at writing love song
I'm all sorry's and goodbyes
I want to hear about your first dog
Tonight might be the start beautiful
The first time I met you
it was if I'd always known you
Our conversations were so amazing
But I'm no good at writing love songs
I'm all dark and cloudly skies
I want to look through of your old year book
To night might be the start of something
I'm no good at writing love songs
I'm all lonesome lullabies
I want to hear about your daughter
Tonight might be the start of something beautiful
