Umami Man A song

My umami man
the iconoclast
the epitome of man

he handles me
like a Tamagotchi
feeding, touching, caring
and then even daring

For you are not
just salty and sweet
you are savory
your drive can't be beat

When on your quests
you can't be bested
and I had no idea
when you came in stealth
proclaimed you were untested!

[pre-chorus]
I have no idea how I won your heart!
except I showed you my own
and my true grit... determined to stand alone

[chorus]
I gazed deep into you
helped you see
all of the amazing things
you can do
who you truly are
for as much as
a scientist as you are
you had not really
examined your own talent that far!

[verse]
You overflow with brains!
and you flash sheer genius
more than a match for me!
my twin, my compliment
you overlap, fill my gaps

together we span
the complete business plan
the swiss army knife for life!

[guitar solo]

[verse]

We do need more rest
if we are goin to conquer
these next tests
Mr 3 AM
make me a pretzel
dipped, baked
sampled, and far more than tasted!

I feel devoured
completely deflowered
no idea how you 
got so completely empowered!

[outro]
[verse]
And we laugh too
it's with you I feel completely grounded
our lives, our thoughts so well rounded
come dance with me
in our thoughts, through our dreams
and into reality

My umami man
salty sweet savory who brings out all that I am
I Love you

my umami man

my compliment

my forever plan

[end]
