You are a splendid butterfly

Chanson : All My Little Words, The Magnetic Fields

Paroles

You are a splendid butterfly
 It is your wings that make you beautiful
 And I could make you fly away (I could make you fly away)
 But I could never make you stay
 You said you were in love with me (you said you were in love with me)
 Both of us know that that's impossible
 And I could make you rue the day (I could make you rue the day)
 But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
 Not if I could sing like a bird
 Not for all North Carolina
 Not for all my little words
 Not if I could write for you
 The sweetest song you ever heard
 It doesn't matter what I'll do
 Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
 You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
 And I could make you pay and pay (I could make you pay and pay)
 But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
 Not if I could sing like a bird
 Not for all North Carolina
 Not for all my little words
 Not if I could write for you
 The sweetest song you ever heard
 It doesn't matter what I'll do (it doesn't matter what I'll do)
 Not for all my little words
 It doesn't matter what I'll do (it doesn't matter what I'll do)
 Not for all my little words
