I TOLD HER I LOVE HER

You should have known her more, you should have know her better
You should have waited longer before you wrote the letter

So what was it you told her?
I told her I love her
So that’s why you’re walking around like some praying mantis, ha!
I told her I love her
Who just had his head eaten off his shoulders
I told her I love her
Hell, no wonder you can’t think straight
Everybody in town knew about that girl
She ate your head off!
I told her I love her

Did you write her anything else?
Yeah
What’d you write her?
I’d rather not say
You tell me what you wrote her so we can understand the story
You mean verbatim?
I mean verbatim
Okay!

I wish you were dead now, but knowing you, you’d refuse just to spite me, wouldn’t you?
We’ll it’s clever, you get clever points there. It’s kind of harsh, though
I wish you were dead now, but knowing you, you’d refuse just to spite me, wouldn’t you?
Yeah, you do know her
I thought I knew her

You should have known her better before you wrote the letter
You should have known her better

Okay, is it all done now?
Uh-uh, we’re just getting started
What’d she do?
I’ll tell you what she did

She hijacked my funeral, put me in the ground before I was dead
She hijacked my funeral, to this day I can’t find my head
She hijacked my funeral, told her friends I was already dead
She hijacked my funeral, to this day I can’t find my head

Yup, that’s a hard way to learn a lesson. That must hurt!

You should have known her better before you wrote the letter

So what’s your take-home from all this?

I told her I love her.
Oh, that’s nice. I guess there’s some value there
I told her I love her.
I wonder if she heard that, though.
I told her I love her.
I know some other things she definitely did hear.
I told her I love her.
I don’t know if she heard it, I don’t know.
I told her I love her.
That’s a good thing. That’s a good thing
Try to keep that in your heart, I guess. I don’t know.
