Birds and the Bees
At first you thought that I was too rule...bound
You wanted me to lift my head from the...ground
But you weren't convincing me
I just coudn't see
I thought dirt had more history
Than the birds and the bees and the trees
Then one day by...chance
I risked just one...glance
And I was blown I away
But it just wasn't that...day
So I forced my head...down
Tried not to...frown
And life went on
But part of me was...gone
I remembered it for a...while
The thought of it made me...smile
So after some...time
I got myself in...line
Raised my head
It was better than you'd said!
It was all so new
(it was all so new)
Did you know that the sky is blue?
(did you know that the sky is blue!)
But it had to end...
And I needed to mend
You started to worry
that the ups and downs weren't doing good for me
And i think I agreed...
But I knew it couldn't last
I didn't want to leave it there for the past
So I decided not to waste the time left
I became rather deft
At breaking all the rules
At winning all my duels
And I could stop--
any time I want to
And I'll mop--
up all the mess
So stop forcing me to behave!
I caved
to you
And now you want
me to
Go back...
But you aren't convincing me!
I can now see
That the birds and the bees and the trees
have more history
Than all the dirt there's ever be...!
I'm practicing what you preach
