Lyrics

I gave you a flower He gave you a whole bunch He cut you a diamond I cut you your lunch I read you a pamphlet He wrote her a whole book He paid them both to the movies I stole you a look I cannot win Since the day we watched them move in Another sick joke At my expense But you can't live your life With one eye over the fence So I wrote you this song She got an operatic medley He bought her a car I doubled you on my treadly I can't compete Since they moved to our street I candidly took your photo But it came out a blur In their hall hangs a portrait He had commissioned for her And on Valentine's Day What was I to do She got a ninety verse sonnet I struggled with a haiku Makes me see red But I still couldn't wish them both dead I'm gonna fail What if I fail He's gonna fail He could possibly fail He could possibly fail He's gonna fail
