I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart

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

But she won t even come out and say hi

While my mother baked a little cake for you

And even dreaded when you said goodbye


What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?

What kind of joke should I lay on her now?

I m inclined to go finish high school

Just to make her notice that I m around

( ) 2x


Well nothing I come up with seems to work

It feels like everything I say is a lie

And never have a felt like such a jerk

I m afraid to even open my eyes

Because I really don t want her to judge me

I want to her really know who I am

And then, and only then she will love me

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 that old

( ) 4x


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
