--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart

I'm so scared to take you away

I tried to win her over right from the start

But something always goti nt he way

We've been sitting in your backyard for hours

But she won't even come out and say hi

While my mother baked a little cake for you

And even dreaded when you said goodbye

What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?

What kind of joke should I lay on her now?

I'm inclined to go finish hight school

Just to make her notice that I'm around

Well nothing I come up with seems to work

It feels like everything I say is a lie

And never have I felt like such a jerk

I'm afraid to even open my eyes

Because I really don't want her to judge me

I want her to really know who I am

And the, and only then will she love me

Well at least that was the plan

If ever a boy needed a holiday

If ever a girl needed someone to hold

I just hope I don't act the same way

By the time that I get that old

I never said I was the heir to a fortune

I never claimed to have any looks

But these kind of things must be important

Because somebody ripped out my page

In your telephone book

I want to warm her heart

Verse 2:

The smile on your face made her think she had the right one

Then she thought she was sure

By the way you two could have fun

But now she might leave

Like she's threatened before

Grab hold of her fast

Before her feet leave the floor

And she's out the door

'cause you want

And in your own mind

You know your're lucky just to know her

And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her

But now you're scared

You think she's running away

You search in your hand for something clever to say

Don't go away

'cause I want

Chorus 4:

To keep you in my pocket

Where there's no way out now

Put it in a safe a lock it

'cause it's home sweet home

14. IT'S TRUE THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER (Chords)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Well it's true that we love one another

I love Jack White like a little brother

Well Holly I love you too but there's

Just so much that I don't know about you

Jack give me some money to pay my bills

All the dough I give you Holly

You been using on pain pills

Jack will you call me if you're able?

I got your phone number written

In the back of my bible

Jack I think your pulling my leg

And I think maybe I better ask Meg

Meg do you think Jack really loves me?

You know, I don't care because

Jack really bugs me

Why don't you ask him now?

Well I would Meg

I really just don't know how

Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'

Well I would Holly but love really bores me

Well maybe we should just be friends

I'm just kidding Holly

You know that I'll love you 'til the end

Well it's true that we love one another

I love Jack White like a little brother

Well Holly I love you too but there's

Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly give me some of your English lovin'

If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven

Why don't you go off and just love yourself

If I did that Holly there won't be anything

Left for anybody else

Jack it's too bad about the way you look

You know I gave that horse a carrot

So he'd break your foot

Will the two of you cut it out

And tell 'em what it's really all about

Well it's true that we love one another

I love Jack White like a little brother

Well Holly I love you too but there's

Just so much that I don't know about you

==========================================================================
