When I was young I was the dumbest kid on the block
We didn’t know that creative types are retarded
And I was in love with the smartest girl in my class
It’s not that opposites attract but we want what we haven’t got
I’ve always liked quality
And that’s why I love you
though I started out a loser
And that’s why it’s so unusual that you love me
And you must prove it all
But I love you
Now I am smarter than my teachers whose hearts are hard
The basic thing (obedience) they’ve all forgotten
For instance, forgiveness, a sign of love, they’ve all lacked
It doesn’t bother me that they won’t graduate to the top
It’s, actually, impossible
And that’s why I need you
though I started out as foolish
And that’s why it’s so unusual that you love me
It’s attitudinal
But I love you
My life is like George’s, of “It’s a Wonderful Life”
except instead of an ideal wife my wife left me
And I will be honest that Bedford Falls would be nice
I’m now in Pottersville, in fact, what we’ve got is much more bizarre
And everything is rotting, now
And that’s why I want you
though I started out as cruelly
And that’s why it’s so unusual that you love me
The world’s delusional
But I love you
The truth is stranger than fiction…
but through your love
our life’s not fiction
Yes, only because of you
could I have lived it
