Lyrics of These apples

A friend brought me flowers, she said, "they were lilacs"
But i've never been good with plants
Her next presentation, a new dictionary
She'd circled the word "romance"
So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic
I shaved her name in my head
And as she beheld it, she said, "i misspelled it"
Need more be said

These apples are delicious
"as a matter of fact they are," she said
Can all this fruit be free?

She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book
I've never been big on mail
I sent her a postcard from somewhere near lethebridge
And wondered if it still went by rail
I've never been frightened of being enlightened
But some things can go too far
Though sometimes i stammer and mix up my grammar
You get what my meanings are

These apples are delicious
"as a matter of fact they are," she said
Can all this fruit be free?

I'm not tryin' to sing a love song, i'm tryin' to sing in tune
I know i am sometimes headstrong
Falling in love, catching fire, i wanna be consumed
Wondering will i ever tire, will i ever tire, will i ever tire?

These apples are delicious
"as a matter of fact they are," she said
Can all this fruit be free?
