GClutching the phone 'til my Amhands were sore
GI never understood Ampain before, Christopher
GYou cannot know what it dAmoes to me
Ghearing You speak with this fFrequenAmcy

GI never knew what one vAmoice could do
GI was in heaven the Ammoment I heard You!
My fGriends go out drinking and hAmaving fun -
GI stay in bed with my hFeadphones Amon
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gshot down with arrows from Amwaves above
GChristopher Lydon reFnounced my Amlove
