Dinner With Jennifer

I taught you to play Candy Land I love you like a sister So I'm gonna come out straight with this 'bout you and dreamboat mister. Your friends have started talking they're getting rather bored They're tired of your disposing them when you see him at the door. Popcorn kernel, they're calling you He indulges his urge for a snack and heats you up, you emerge full bloom to be swallowed up, entirely consumed. Thirteen was near two lives ago It's not precious at thirty-four To moon and swoon and let his whim decide what kind of mood you're in. He's playing you like a yo-yo pogo stickin' it to you better watch your backgammon and put on your poker face. Go out and paint the town I'll help you, ruby red! We'll dance and sing and laugh and fling that boy right outa your head.
