The White Stripes

Album: elephant i want to be the boy that warms your mother's heart i'm so scared to take you away i tried to win her over right from the start but something always got in the way we've been sitting in your backyard for hours while my mother baked a little cake for you but she won't even come out and say hi and even dreaded when you said goodbye what kind of joke should i lay on her now? what kind of cartwheels do i have to pull? just to make her notice that i'm around i'm inclined to go finish high school well nothing i come up with seems to work it feels like everything i say is a lie i'm afraid to even open my eyes and never have a felt like such a jerk because i really don't want her to judge me and then, and only then she will love me i want to her really know who i am well at least that was the plan if ever a boy needed a holiday if ever a girl needed someone to hold i just hope i don't act the same way by the time that i get old i never said i was the heir to a fortune i never claimed to have any looks but these kind of things must be important because somebody ripped out my page in your telephone book i want to warm her heart
