The Other Stuff

I wanted to buy a dozen red roses But they refused to touch your hand The chocolates said that, "You're much sweeter" And, "Your lips would make them bland" So I tried to find just the right card But the words just ran away There was nothing that the cards could do There was nothing the words could say I wanted to cook a Valentine's feast But I fear it's just a waste Your smile has crippled my need for food My appetite's been erased Then I tried to buy a diamond ring But your beauty stole its shine For it's never seen a love like ours One like yours and mine So I just want to say, "I love you" And forget the other stuff So Happy Valentines Day sweet darling And I hope that that's enough
