I Love You a Little Bit (I Love My TV a Lot)

I loved you like no other.

We seemed so happy together.

Our love was light as a feather.

But one day you thought you could better.

You fell in love with another,

And held on to me for the comfort.

Just when I thought we were over,

You came back and wanted to start over.

I love you a little bit.

I love my T.V. a lot.

I love you in the morning when the coffee's still hot -

As long as my favorite team hasn't just lost.

I love you a little bit.

I love my T.V. a lot.

All things can be forgiven,

But some things can never be forgotten.

They say time heals all that's broken.

If not loving you is healing, then I'm unbroken.

I love you a little bit.

I love my T.V. a lot.

I love you in the morning when the coffee's still hot -

As long as my favorite team hasn't just lost.

I love you a little bit.

I love my T.V. a lot.

Please Don't Take Me As I Am

I want to find a woman who will change me,

who won't just love me for who I am.

She'll see my potential and remind me every day

how I'm not good enough until I change my ways.

I long to find a love that's everlasting -

contingent upon my evolution.

She'll change what I wear and how I fix my hair,

all because she loves me and all that I could be.

Please don't take me as I am.

Please don't settle for where I live.

You can make me better than I've ever been before.

I just want to be like all your other boys.

I want to be well-versed in conversation

and please her with all that I say.

She can choose all my friends and point out all the sins

of my prior life and the people I call friends.

I know that I could be something special.

A flower waiting to bloom.

I just need to find me a woman

who will change me through and through.

Please don't take me as I am.

Please don't settle for where I live.

You can make me better than I've ever been before.

I just want to be like all your other boys.
