(Parce que j'ai bel et bien réussi à mettre en oeuvre une stratégie me permettant de rattraper le retard que j'avais sur Fiona Apple et Tori Amos -)

You didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watching someone else
I stared at you and cut myself

It's all I'll do 'cuz I'm not free
A fugitive too dull to flee
I'm amorous, but out of reach
A still-life drawing of a peach

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done
I watched you live to have my fun

I root for you
I love you
You, you, you, you
I root for you
I love you
You, you, you, you

I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance, but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve

I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you

I root for you
I love you
You, you, you, you
I root for you
I love you
You, you, you, you
