Aimee Mann - Mr Harris lyrics

So he's retired

Lives with his sister in a furnished flat

He's got this suit that

He'll never wear outside without a hat

His hair is white but he looks half his age

He looks like jimmy stewart in his younger days.

And honestlyI might be

Stupid to think love is love

But I do

And you've waited so long and

I've waited long enough for you.

My mother's calling

From where she's living up in troyvermont

She tries to tell me

A father figure must be what I want

I've always thought age makes no difference

Am I the only one to whom that's making sense?

And honestlyI might be

Stupid to think love is love

But I do

And you've waited so long and

I've waited long enough for you.

The day I met him he was raking leaves

In his tiny yard.

Of course I know that

We've only got ten yearsor twentyleft

But to be honest

I'm happy with whatever time we get

Depending on which book you read

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.

And honestlyI might be

Stupid to think love is love

But I do

And you've waited so long and

I've waited long enough for you.
