Incompetent Love Song Lyrics by Grace Petrie

Tell Me A Story

2010

[Verse 1]
Got into bed and I rolled
Right to the edge and turned my
Back on you to make it clear
That I've taken offence
At insignificant events
And now I'll sulk for about a year
[Verse 2]
And this is
What I do to show you
I'm so proud I know you
This is how I let you know
That I'm mad about you
I'd be lost without you
If you ever let me go
[Pre-Pre-Chorus]
And I know
That I can't just turn up
On your doorstep
With a single flower
And look at you
And stick out my bottom lip
Like a naughty puppy
Who weed on your carpet
Like it's not my fault
Like I don't know better
And I don't deserve it
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, I know
I'm bloody hard work some days
I'm clingy and I'm awkward
I don't eat anything with mayonnaise
And oh, I know
I'm bloody hard work some days
But I'm bending over backwards
Trying not to tell you always
[Chorus]
That all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours
With open arms and with open doors
Darling all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours with open doors
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
[Verse 3]
And after one too many beers
It always ends up in tears with me
I can be such a twat
And I leave everything too late
You know I couldn't navigate my way
Out of a paper bag
[Verse 4]
And when I'm in that mood
I could start a fight in an empty room
I could start a fight with someone
Who only wants to care
When I'm pushing you away
You know I'm praying that you'll stay
'Cause when you leave it's like there's no air
[Pre-Pre-Chorus]
But I know
That I can't just turn up
On your doorstep
With a single flower
And look at you
And stick out my bottom lip
Like a naughty puppy
Who weed on your carpet
Like it's not my fault
Like I don't know better
And I don't deserve it
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, I know
I'm bloody hard work some days
I'm clingy and I'm awkward
I don't eat anything with mayonnaise
And oh, I know
I'm bloody hard work some days
But I'm bending over backwards
Trying not to tell you always
[Chorus]
That all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours
With open arms and with open doors
Darling all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours with open doors
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
[Bridge]
And I leave my dirty towels all over the floor
Sometimes I'm much too insecure
And when I think I've blown it completely
That's when I'll say something cheesy
Like I love you so much it makes me crazy
Like I love you so much it makes me crazy
Oh I love you so much it makes me crazy
[Chorus]
All I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours
With open arms and with open doors
Darling all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours with open doors
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
[Outro (fade out)]
And all I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours
With open arms and open doors
Darling all
I have and all I am
All I've done and all I can
Is yours with open arms and with open doors
