Song lyrics

[andysocial]

Listening to a strange potpourri of music lately, from J. Ralph to the Afghan Whigs to Lyle Lovett. This is from the very first Lyle Lovett song I ever heard...

Look
I understand too little too late
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back
But what would you be if you didn't even try
You have to try
So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger

I love that verse, because it comes at the end of such a plaintive song, like the singer is yearning for his true love to pay attention to him, to notice that he's been the steadfast and stalwart courter. Then, a big joke at the end. Classic Lovett.
