Why I Love You

from Say When by Sam Steffen

/

lyrics

We arrive at the picture show an hour fore it starts
What I call entertainment you call art
You always cry at the funniest parts
That’s why I love you

You take the high road and I take the low
When I’m in a hurry you’re movin slow
I say, “You know what?” and you already know
That’s why I love you

You ain’t like other people, you’re a diamond in the rough
You’re shy in front of strangers, but you act so tough
You don’t like much attention, you’re very quick to blush
That’s why I love you

The only time you need me’s when your parking meter’s done
You ask me for a quarter and I give you one
You rack a hundred dollar ticket cause you give it to a bum
That’s why I love you

Whenever it’s your birthday, you never ask for gifts
I bring you wine and roses, you say what’s all this?
You don’t see the sense in celebrating the fact that you exist
That’s why I love you

You never do what’s fashionable, you make up your own trends
If the ladies room is crowded, you just use the men’s
I don’t understand you sometimes, you don’t make any sense
That’s why I love you

You never draw outside the lines, you follow all the rules
When it comes to bein punctual you’re stubborn as a mule
You’ve never heard of Taylor Swift, but you think Peter Lorre’s cool
That’s why I love you
