Like a slimy white slug living under a stone Like a fat repugnant king asleep on his throne Like a mange-ridden dog chomping down on a bone Well that's how I love you Like a baby in a bathtub that won't do what it's told Like a granny with rickets so feeble and old Like a lukewarm beer that's supposed to be cold Well that's how I love you That's how I love you Your sweet smile so full and true We're stuck together, stuck together me and you Just like a glob of hardened glue Like a huge slab of gristle on a 6 oz. steak Like that funny little tremor just before the big quake Like a porcelin doll you just want to break (Into a million pieces now) Well that's how you love me And that's how you love me Just like a cat, a little cat caught in an old oak tree The branches swaying, yeah they're swaying in the coming storm He's feeling cold, but he's thinking warm Like out of date butter on a slice of stale bread Like that phrase I can't remember that your mother always said to me Like the way a snake quivers even after it's dead That's how I love you And that's how I love you Your sweet smile, oh yeah, so full and true We're stuck together, stuck together just like glue A juicy glob from me to you |
