The dogwood's in bloom

Take off your shoes

You cannot choose your family, oh

There's nothing we can do

But screw

And booze and amphetamines, oh

In the springtime, in a little house

I was determined to work it out

Oh, in the springtime, in a little house

The neighbors heard us scream and shout

And somewhere a screw got loose along the way

And your manners have gone away

And I believe that there will come a day

I believe that you will chase me away

So that you can prove

Love is not enough for you

There's nothing I can do

'Cause I fell in love with you

In the springtime, in a little house

I was determined to work it out

Oh, in the springtime, in a little house

I never told you I had my doubts

Somewhere a screw got loose along the way

And our manners have gone away

And I believe that there will come a day

I believe that you will chase me away

So that you can prove

Love is not enough for you

You thought I was your muse

But all along it was you

And the dogwood's in bloom

There's nothing we can do

But screw, oh
