My Mood Swings

Lyrics

She was smitten from the first

By a curious fellow

She said I love the way you talk

And with a flounce she announced it

I love the way that you pronounced it

Marshmallow

Well she liked to sing along

To her favourite song

From the year that she was born

See how mysterious her fate is

She had to get born in the eighties

So speak to me, just like you should

Then we can do those wicked things

And if you want, we'll make it good

Before my mood swings

Well he looked like one of those

Who would take off his clothes

Like you would peel a tangerine

No one's been known to decline this

Once he has found out what your sign is

So speak to me, just like you should

Then we can do those wicked things

And it you want, we'll make it good

Before my mood swings

So speak to me, just like you should

Then we can do those wicked things

And it you want, we'll make it good

Before my mood swings

So speak to me, just like you should

Then we can do those wicked things

And it you want, we'll make it good

Before my mood swings
