This Love Of Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, some boys don't believe that you can have much fun
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
Sticking with one girl as their only one
And that's why you oughta know about this love I have
I want them to throw me a glance, give me a little chance
I'll tell them personally a song about a real romance
I knew I was going to wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
Well some girls don't believe that a boy can stay
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
They think the boy has got to turn around one day
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
They're gonna think "Ah-oh, it won't work", They'll think "I'm gonna
look like a jerk"
"I tried it in the first grade and all I got was hurt
But I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
Well now, Mister Realistic aren't you feeling kind of cold
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
You've forgotten what it feels to be five years old
And that's why you oughta know about this love I got
I want you to put down your glass, give me a little chance
I'm gonna sing a song about a real romance
I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
