It sure was scary
|
When I met Mary
|
I didn't understand myself
|
I was a fool when we were in school
|
And she understood me better
|
I guess I had passion
|
It startled her fashion
|
She thought it a small price to pay
|
For fiery nights under northern lites
|
Helps the snow slowly melt away
|
Herbert's a loser
|
His father's a boozer
|
He didn't like himself
|
He lost his cool and he drowned in a pool
|
After writing a classic love letter
|
I guess too much passion
|
Had startled his fashion
|
It started and ended that day
|
He wrote the letter there wasn't one better
|
One reading turned millions his way
|
Now there's Mary
|
It isn't so scary
|
Now that I like myself
|
I'm no fool and we're not in school
|
The water can't get any wetter
|
Now I'm in fashion I'll warm up her passion
|
She'll think it a small price to pay
|
For fiery nights under northern lites
|
Helps the snow slowly melt away
|
