[Verse 1] And so I felt that I could melt that ice that had sheltered round my little heart At age ten was dealt some brittle cards So I looked to women to warm me up I put a note in her cubby “I think I like like you If you like like me check the box next to yes and we could be tight” She said yes – success! I was quite hyped It’s the fifth grade I was adam, she’s my rib cage I was an atom, she’s the membrane I wasn’t that obsessed with slap bracelets Ok, yes I was, and yes I had braces I even fronted like I cared about stickers Fuzzies and oilies, the girls were all about em At lunch my table was always crowded “Watch me spin this dreidle!” I shouted [hook] If music be the food of love, then play on x4 [Verse 2] I got older Writin this girl’s name on my folder I told her the same thing I tell you And that’s everything Writin poetry so she’ll notice me hopefully Girls gettin bagged like groceries But to me that ain’t the way that it’s supposed to be Introduced my best friend to the love of my life And then they started dating, and it fucked up my life for a minute became a bit of a cynic Wasn’t in it to win it And I dressed like dennis the menace on the apprentice if he was playing tennis against a dentist in Venice Ok now I’m exaggerating a tad Graduatin from masterbatin was rad The fascination of imagination had passed But my high school was frightful The vibe, it was sad And college? I think you’ve heard enough about that [hook] If music be the food of love, then play on x4 [Verse 3] If love is blind then I was hellen keller Or anne frank A cellar dweller hidin from independence For years she seemed so heaven sent But it was evident that merriment was missing We were each other’s medicine and vision I stayed reticent and wishing That we would be the couple that I knew we could be She was me again, we grew equally But we also grew apart Sayin peace isn’t easy, but shit, sometimes it’s gotta happen This was round the time that I started hitting stages Now girls approachin me as if I was rich and famous But the fact is I was still switching phases An ignoramus, now I’m playin the field I’m just playin a game, these girls’re playin for real Maybe ain’t the way it should be just the way that I feel [hook] If music be the food of love, then play on x8
