It’s getting to be that time of the year
We’re giving out love and getting back fear
Yeah the monitor is almost here
Bringing candygram
But only brings heartbreak for me
Can’t you see
Sweet tarts for Emily
Sugar hearts on the next over seat
And now his sights are set on me
Bringing candygram
With no name inscribed on the seal
Is this real?
Is this how it feels to be loved?
Is this what dreams are made of?
But who can it be
That would send this to me?
School bus is a smooth ride home
Posted up in the back seat alone
Ice cold sweat, my hand white as stone
Holds my candygram
As I get out and walk to my door
To mother’s warmth
How’s my little Valentine?
How was school? I said it was fine.
And she stunned with me her final line
Did you get my candygram?
I knew not to laugh or to cry
Tears of joy
Is this how it feels to be loved
Then why do we make such a fuss?
Who needs an affair
When mommy is there?
Not me.
