Mark Erelli - Morrissey falls in love at first sight

^GWell, my heart skipped a beat when you walked into the room ^GAnd in five seconds I was thinking bride and groom I was ^Dthinking bride and groom, thinking man and wife ^DNever fell in love so fast in all of my life

I ^Gknow you’ll like my friends and you’ve got to meet my parents ^GMy dad is pretty funny and my mom looks like betty white I’ve got to ^Dhave another drink to figure out ^DA way to introduce myself to you tonight

I’m ^Glousy on the first night, better by the third ^GI was raised catholic, in case you hadn’t heard But I ^Dain’t the type of man who lives on dreams and wishes ^DOr walks around the house breaking bread and blessing fishes

If I ^Gsent a dozen roses just out of habit ^GWould you press those flowers in a copy of Babbitt? I ^Dneed another drink, I need a cigarette ^DI ain’t giving up, I’m gonna get you yet

I’ll ^Ggive you the rights to my ten best songs ^GIf you want to talk, I can talk till dawn Right ^Dthere I need a word that rhymes with urn ^DI guess your name is the first thing I ought to learn

I ^Ghope you’re a democrat, I hope you like the Red Sox ^GHope you like bourbon with a splash of water on the rocks ^DBourbon with a splash is the only drink I make ^DBut baby, I can learn, there’s a course I can take

You ^Gmight as well give up, I’m gonna make my move ^GWe can honeymoon in Paris, hang out at the Louvre We can ^Dwinter in the city, summer up in Maine ^DAnd all of this will happen, just as soon as I learn your name
