I have nothing clever left to say
No ace no lace left up my sleeve
No prepared improv or self-taught pun
I've only ever tried to be fun
But you caught my eye I'll say
I met my match so to speak
Do you realise I'm here to stay?
I only want to push you to your peak
So convinced I'm playing my cards right
It's not me that's the reason why nothing ever lasts long
So convinced I'm playing my chords right
It's the tuning that must be wrong
Life must've been smooth
Life must've been sweet
Lick your wounds and soothe
A bed of grass and bare feet
Do you know nothing of life?
Do you know so little of sweetness?
Can I can I be your wife?
I'm not easy but I'm helpless
I playfight to know how it works
I provocate to get the best of you
Take the cons and reach the perks
Call just to ask how do you do
I haven't read what I'm supposed to
I don't understand the likes of you
Did I say the wrong thing again?
I never really learnt how to keep friends
I somehow surprise people from the get-go
And then I bore them with my own hands
Keep them close so they can watch from the death row
But never close enough to understand
I never told you to put all your eggs in my basket
I never knew what to do with them
Then you act stupid when I ask you it
And leave me with my bleeding conscience
Life must've been smooth
Life must've been sweet
Lick your wounds and soothe
A bed of grass and bare feet
Do you know nothing of life?
Do you know so little of sweetness?
Can I can I be your wife?
I'm not easy but I'm helpless
I have no choice and no right to speak
And when I do I fear its content's bleak
In comparison to the natural ones
Or those blessed with more pros than cons
So excuse me for getting used to being silent
When I'm really trying not to say something dumb
I'm awkward with humour but I'm trying
To take advice and the days as they come
Life must've been tough
Can I have your heart to touch?
Oh life must've been boresome
Lick your wounds and move on
Do you know nothing of life?
Do you know so little of sweetness?
Can I can I be your wife?
I'm not easy but I'm helpless
There's more there's more underneath
This silence awkwardness and cheese
Do you know so little of life?
Oh can I? Can I be your wife?
No ace no lace left up my sleeve
No prepared improv or self-taught pun
I've only ever tried to be fun
But you caught my eye I'll say
I met my match so to speak
Do you realise I'm here to stay?
I only want to push you to your peak
So convinced I'm playing my cards right
It's not me that's the reason why nothing ever lasts long
So convinced I'm playing my chords right

Life must've been smooth
Life must've been sweet
