POETIC LYRICS BY THOMAS LAM HSI (ANDRESS)
Dedicated to those who lost their hearts in search of the 'Valentine' of
their hearts!


Do you know...what you did to my heart...when I was hopeless
And without a date?
'Cuz...I was hopeless...and without a date!
HOPELESS...AND-WITHOUT-A...DATE!
HOPELESS...AND-WITHOUT-A...DATE!

You were royal...and-all-too-TRUE!
You were royal...and-all-too-TRUE!
And I was...HOPELESS...AND-WITHOUT-A/DATE!
I was...HOPELESS...AND-WITHOUT-A/DATE!

I was a surfer-girl...and you were/A-ROYAL!
You were/a-royal...and I was a/SURFER-GIRL!

Do oil-and-water/MIX?

White-nosed/with-a/ROYAL...A-SURFER-GIRL/with-your/DEEP-POCKETS!
White-nosed/with-a/ROYAL...A-SURFER-GIRL/with-your/DEEP-POCKETS!

Do the stars in heaven/LAST-LONG?
Have the legends/of the heavens...EVER-LASTED/LONG?
Do the stars in heaven/LAST-LONG?
Have the legends/of the heavens...EVER-LASTED/LONG?

Isn't it strange...how the rain/can-be painful...OR...BEAUTIFUL
IN THE MIDDLE-OF...THE-NIGHT?!?!
It can be so-strange...IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE/NIGHT!

I was a simple/surfer-girl/and-you/WERE-A/ROYAL!
But ARTHUR/DOESN'T-SURF!

I was a simple/surfer-girl/and-you/WERE-A/ROYAL!
But ARTHUR/DOESN'T-SURF!

It was a/ROYAL-DATE...AND-A/LATE-NIGHT...and/way-way/too-LATE!
It was a/ROYAL-DATE...AND-A/LATE-NIGHT...and/way-way/too-LATE!

The instruction/book...said-to/ROLL-WITH-THE/WAVES...
BUT/TO-AVOID/THE-SHARKS!
The instruction/book...said-to/ROLL-WITH-THE/WAVES...
BUT/TO-AVOID/THE-SHARKS!

ARTHUR/DOESN'T-SURF...AND-DEEP-POCKETS...ARE PENNILESS!
ARTHUR/DOESN'T-SURF...AND-DEEP-POCKETS...ARE PENNILESS!

A simple/surfer-girl...SHOULD/KNOW-WELL!
A simple/surfer-girl...SHOULD/KNOW-WELL!

Your-teethy/SMILES...AND-DEEP/POCKETS...DON'T/ROLL-WELL!
Your-teethy/SMILES...AND-DEEP/POCKETS...DON'T/ROLL-WELL!

It was a/ROYAL-DATE...AND-A/LATE-NIGHT...and/way-way/too-LATE!

Momma-told-me...AND/Poppa-told-me...TO-HATE-HIM/OR-LEAVE-HIM!
I SHOULD'VE/HATED-YOU/AND-LEFT-YOU...TOO!
