Hello, are you eating with a fork?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Hello, is it reading books and more?
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I sometimes see you pass out outside my door
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
This song is hilarious, (eg. 'Are you somewhere feeling lonely?' Who's lonely? I am!) but I love it!
I sometimes see your pants outside my door.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door.

A man with no direction, with no porpoise.
A man with no direction, with no purpose.
And so, one night, I lost my mind
It's a wonder I ain't lost my mind
I'm so glad you spayed
I'm so glad you stayed
It's a lover
It's a wonder
Just knows my mind
Just blows my mind

When I'm all alone, it's you that I miss
With a love like cousins hard to resist.
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone, it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like your's, it's hard to resist.
