Valentine’s Day

Lyrics

When the postman don't call on Valentine's Day And Santa Claus don't come on a Christmas Day That umbrella won't work on a rainy day Don't ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef And the only pleasure treasured is in map relief The choice is yours, sure, saint or thief Don't ask me, I already know Yes, they baked your cake in little slices Kept your eye on rising prices Wound up winning booby prizes I'm sure you'd like to think you know what life is Find destiny through magazines Lip-licking, unzipping, Harpers and Queens From here to eternity without in-betweens Ask me, I already know With your heart on parade and your heart on parole I hope you find a sucker to buy that mink stole School for scandal, guess who's enrolled So ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef (All the way with you, all the way to February) When the postman don't call on Valentine's Day (You won't let me speak, don't need a dictionary) When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief (Every time I say, every time I feel you near me) When you don't tell the truth, that's the price you pay (Summer time I see, you are with me) When I'm shaking a hand, I'm clenching a fist If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed I'd be a millionaire, I'd be a Fred Astaire
