Lyrics
Album Version
[Ogie]
Your white dress sparks words spontaneous
I’ll sing from mountaintops
I am in love (love, love)
And I don’t care who knows it
Lucky me
I was ordi-nary
But with your love, you see
I am a po-o-o-o-o-oem writer
I will express this if I’m able
I love you like a table
My legs were carved for you
I love you like a table
[All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Ogie]
I’m wood and you’re glue
Cover me with stuff
[All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Ogie]
And I will hold it up
Strong and stable
I love you like a table
[Dawn]
I love you too
And I wanted to try and surprise you
I’ve written 29 new drafts of vows that didn’t rhyme
30 was a drum line
[Dawn & Ogie]
Promise to as best we can
Say I do and tell you that when I see you
I want to again
ART Version
[Ogie]
You’re my sweet
You were my missing piece
This puzzle is complete
I am in love (love, love)
And I don’t care who knows it
Lucky me
I was ordi-nary
I’ve turned from OKC
Into a po-o-o-o-o-oem writer
I will express this if I’m able
I love you like a table
My legs were carved for you
I love you like a table
I’m wood and you are glue
Cover me with stuff
[All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Ogie]
I will hold it up
Strong and stable
I love you like a table
If I’m not as good with words
As I will someday be
I know one thing
You make me happy And if I make you happy too
There’s just one thing left to do
I’ll confess I’ve got just one request
I hope the answer’s yes
You see now, sweet
Will you marry me?
[Dawn]
Well I’m really gonna have to think that through…
YES!
[All]
Yes!
[Ogie]
See our dream has now come true As long as I am able I love you like a table
[All]
Like a table
[Cal]
Get off my table
