was eight years old
  Before puberty took hold
  I thought I'd end up beside a princess bride
  And love was indivisible
  Never mind how my taste reflects
  A disturbing oedipal complex
  It's not awkward, girl
  The compliments are coming next
  You're no witch
  You're no wench
  You're like Bjork with better fashion sense
  So phone fifty cents
  And I'm building up my confidence
  Respect to your work
  You're an artist, I'm a silly jerk
  I think that dynamic could work
  I have a total crush on you, baby
  And I can't let it go, oh no
  I have a total crush on you, baby
  Baby, if only I could let you know
  And we spoke, no joke
  I started shedding slutty girls like snakeskin
  My collection acquired through shallow misdirection
  And as I drive tonight
  West coast sky daring me to try
  I feel alive tonight
  The possibility that I'm your guy
  Though I suffer from dyslexia
  And mild manorexia
  My hair cannot commit to one popular genre of music
  And though they all claim
  That a girl can't take a boy's last name
  Or end up divorced and estranged
  I'm counting on you
  I have a total crush on you, baby
  And I can't let it go, oh no
  I have a total crush on, baby
  Baby, if only I could
  Your other suitors are no poets
  They're only actors who can't play guitar
  Have I won your heart?
  They're not students or screenwriters
  They're only models that they taught to read
  Love, would you agree?
  I have a total crush on you, baby
  And I can't let it go, oh no
  I have a total crush on you, baby
  Baby, if only I could
  Quite sure you love me, Sherri
  Quite sure I love you too
  We should make a verbal agreement to only kiss each other
  Because one time, beneath the sky
  Outside my New York pigsty
  I saw a vision of you and I
  HA! HA!
  Did it hurt?
  Did it hurt?
  Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, girl?
  Did it hurt?
  Did it hurt?
  Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, girl?
