Adam Schlesinger - Love Kernels lyrics

"How do I know he loves me? It's the little things Little compliments here and there that I secretly stockpile in my woman-brain I can live for days off a single ("You really listen to me") I'm like a s**y fashion-cactus Livin' from compliment to compliment Hint to hint Storin' them in my body through long periods of drought I may look dry, but if you cut me open you'll find only water inside Incidentally that's also a useful fact for how to survive in the desert But how do I know he loves me? I guess the only way to prove it is with abstract symbolism" ("Those jeans are cute!") ("Want some of my smoothie?") ("Wait! You should put this pillow under your knees first") He gives me love kernels Each little crumb another tasty clue Love kernels 'Cause if you read between the lines he's sayin' I love you Love kernels Save those kernels up to make a bowl of popcorn Love kernels A handful is the proper serving anyway I know when you say, "I wanna go to Colorado sometime" It means you're thinkin' 'bout the future with me I know a 3am text means I was in your dreams before you woke up to pee (It's a 3am 'sup' text) And I know you care when you say "I'm going to a movie tonight, my friend bailed, wanna come?" It means I'm the most important person in his life Next to his friend "But he's known his friend since he was like five So that's saying a lot. Okay rude!" I'd do anything for those love droplets Like a hamster in a cage! Slurp slurp Love droplets Each a letter on a page in the novel of our love Love droplets Fallin' down from the sky And when I mix it in with the tears I cry it makes a Full gla** of water God I'm thirsty after all that popcorn I'll be patient Until the droplets become a river that needs a dam I'll be patient Until the kernels rain down like candy on Shaquille O'Neal In the movie Kazaam Whatever you got, baby, I'll take it, baby ("What you up to today?") I'll take it ("Your house smells like lemon") I'll take it ("Where is my phone?") It's a stretch but I'll take that too I'll take all your love kernels This video ate up our production budget Love kernels We used up literally every cent Love kernels Darryl is now played by a broom on a stand But like your love kernels We'll do our best with what we have
