she loves him like a freight train
and listens like library
to all the words spoken
when they're complimentary
he loves her with a slack jaw
and occasional turned up brow
with reactionary miss-you-honeys
and sympathetic there-there-nows

but this love's enough for us to make
this love's enough to mend each break
this love's enough for its own sake
all I could take
if it were mine

he saw her from the back room
futile tries to avert his eyes
were successfully noticed
another pair, another disguise
i'll have what he is having
as long as it tastes like mine
i'll leave when she is leaving
as long she leaves in time

but this love's enough for us to make
this love's enough to mend each break
this love's enough for its own sake
all I can take
wish it were mine

sit and watch her like a heatwave
complimented by a cuervo breeze
telepathic converstation
it's complicated with you and me
it's like i wish i was a wish-bone
or a number held my mind
so you'd correctly guess me, honey
you break me in half every time

this love's enough for us to make
this love's enough to mend each break
this love's enough for its own sake
all I can take
it's just fine
at least it's mine
