I got buzzards in my backyard
I'm too tall and I'm too thin
Got more baggage than an airport
And the rain is coming in
Got an arts degree from Oxford
But I don't recall a thing
Cos you're in love with me
What's not to love?
I got nothing in the bank, babe
And I just wrote off my car
The only things I own now
Are these clothes and this guitar
But I'm lying in the gutter
And I'm smiling at the stars
Cos you're in love with me
What's not to love?
My hair is much too curly
And my shirts don't fit me right
My house is cold and empty
And I just don't sleep at night
I got just my heart to give you
And two arms to hold you tight
I'm in love with you
What's not to love?
I'm in love with you
What's not to love?
I'm in love with you
What's not to love?
