Post #659: The Magnetic Fields - "All My Little Words" - 69 Love Songs

This song has one of my favorite lyrics ever: "You tell me that you're unboyfriendable..." It describes me perfectly... and it does not make me the least bit sad... in fact, I am told time and time again how lucky I am to have such a fierce level of independence.  I believe it more and more as I continue to see relationships unravel before my very eyes and couples who once felt like they couldn't live without one another become increasingly distant and cruel to the other.  I am VERY lucky, and I count my blessings each and every day that I never needed and/or wanted my life to look like everyone else's.

Until next time...

XOXOXO

You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay

You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And 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
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
It doesn't matter what I'll do
Not for all my little words
