One Thirty-Seven, Exactly

This is finally it
I swear today will be the day
Before the sun sets in the evening
I’ll have told you how I feel
I’ll tell you that I’m crazy for you
I’m positive beyond a doubt
That what we have
Is the kind of love they make movies about
So just one more time
Let me run through my lines…
«You and I were meant to be…»
(No, that one’s too cliché)
«You're the only one I’ve ever loved…»
(Not strictly true, but better)
«You're the girl of my dreams»
«You mean everything to me»
All these words are so inadequate
They’re nowhere close to what I’ll need
To sweep you off your feet
Someone please stop me
It appears I’ve lost control
Every time I open my mouth
These clichés start coming out
There has to be some way
To say these words to you
Without resorting to these
Oh-so-standard love-song platitudes
So just one more time
Let me run through my lines…
«You and I were meant to be…»
(No, that one’s too cliché)
«You're the only one I’ve ever loved…»
(Not strictly true, but better)
«You're the girl of my dreams»
«You mean everything to me»
All these words are so inadequate
They’re nowhere close to what I’ll need
To sweep you off your feet
