MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - Precious Smiles lyrics

rate me

Some scratch their heads or squint their eyes

All this time in precious smiles

Dedicated to this same guy

I don't know why myself

He was wearing a ball cap & glasses

I usually hate ball caps with glasses

But I fell in love with him

Some might find him shy or goofy as sin

I don't why, but I do love him

Let's take a plane or cast a sail

Ride or ride by, walk or by rail

Talk about the reasons or the turning seasons

Baby

It's our anniversary today

One year this little May

You didn't get my anything, but that's okay

Neither did I you along the way

Does your mother like me?

My mom's angry with you

She caught on that all of her money was going

Straight from me back to you

Did you get the job that we talked about?

Do you like the food that I put in your mouth?

Can I borrow your sweater while I go out?

Baby

Some tell me that I should try

Pretty boys that'll make me cry

Or the more violent type that will make my blood run with fright

But I think that I'm stuck on you

I think you're a star

Baby, I love you

Baby, I love you
