the spelling of your name
I’m tryin’ t’get my act together
So I can play every role.
Figure if I play my cards right
I can win back everything you stole.
I’m getting’ out the best dishes.
I’m gonna serve up a storm.
There’ll be rockin’ on the boat tonight.
Honey, you’ve just been warned.
Told my boss I must be anti-social ‘cause
I don’t like his company.
He stole a look at his assassin
Before looking back at me.
You’d think after yesterday and all last night
Never out of touch, never out of sight.
I’d get the spelling of your name right.
But your eyes change color when you look at me
And I’m comin’ in last in love’s spellin’ bee.
I don’t care if you were born that way
I was born to stare forever and a day
At a woman like you who stole my heart,
Who makes me want to play every part.
I’m rolling dice; I’m reading flames.
I’m cracking ice trying to find your name.
I’m planting seeds; I’m pulling weeds.
Got enigma in the name finding game.
I’m checking deeds; I’m raking leaves.
I’m riding steeds in every county.
I’m leading a mutiny on life’s bounty.
I’m breaking down the walls of blame.
Just to find how you spell your name.
I called the miller’s daughter to see if she knew.
She said her guessing days were thoroughly through.
You oughta think hard about Rumplestiltskin
And the fix he got himself in
When he played the name calling game
And ended up standing in the middle of his grave.
But I don’t care if you were born that way
I was born to stare forever and a day
At a woman like you who stole my heart,
Who makes me want to play every part.
I don’t even want you to change.
I like the way you play the game.
I want you to keep everything the same.
I just want to know how you spell your name.
