I told all my friends, dear
That you've got the loveliest smile
In hopes that you'd hear
Come ask me to drink with you; stay for a while
Tell me: did it work?
Did the attention feel nice?
Tell me: did it hurt
When I said I won't sting you then I did so twice?
My biggest mistake was my heart on my sleeve
I wore it as cuff links and you took them from me
My biggest gamble was my lips and dollars
Locations of both turned my cheeks crimson colors
You said life is like a rubber band
You then then snapped a green one between your teeth
You said you love metaphors
I shook my head said that was a simile
But I may have missed the point
That the more you pull, the more you break
You think I am sad but sweet
And thankfully, that is all you need
My biggest mistake was my heart on my sleeve
I wore it as cuff links and you took them from me
My biggest gamble was my lips and dollars
Locations of both turned my cheeks crimson colors
La de da, la de da, le de da da (x8)
