Saw jim reid in the corridor

And I wondered if he could ever see me that way

He was on my list at the grocery store

When you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain

Read your feature in the weekly paper

And honestly, I found it a little bit bloated

Friday, we fell through the coffee table

And that’s when I discovered that my heart exploded

How? How?

You’re a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You’re a lollipop in my hair

But I’m a gumdrop

Am I ever gonna fit that mould?

'Cause I don’t have the patience to wait in line for you

When I came back to apologize

You asked me if I was intrigued by lsd

I sat next to you on the picnic bench

And before I knew it, you were flying next to me

I met your baby at the exposition

And frankly, I found it a little unnerving

I let you know when we were driving home

And all I can remember is the fact that we're swerving

You’re a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You’re a lollipop in my hair

How could I ever obtain you?

But you’re a doorstop

When you’re lying on the bathroom floor

And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you

How could I ever betray you?

Alter my state to get through this date

You're alone in this picture

And it swallows me whole

Alter my state to get through this date

You're alone in this picture

And it swallows me whole

Alter my state to get through this date

You're alone in this picture

Alter my state to get through this date

And it swallows me whole

You're alone in this picture

Alter my state to get through this date

You’re a lollipop

How could I ever obtain you?

In the form of a lightning bolt

You’re a lollipop in my hair

How could I ever betray you?

You look like iggy pop

Circa ’73 or ‘4

How could I ever obtain you?

Because I don’t have the time wait in line for you

How could I ever betray you?

Wait for you
