DAN BAIRD - I LOVE YOU PERIOD



Back when I was goin' to school, I never learned a thing

All I did was daydream, a-waitin' for the bell to ring

I had a certain teacher, I always tried to impress her

When she stood up in the classroom, I would mentally undress her

Then one day I decided, that I would write a little letter

She said the spellin' was a masterpiece, the punctuation could be better

I understood what she was saying, I got the gist of her sentiment

She said I don't mean to be degrading, but here's the way that it shoulda

went



Chorus (2x):

I love you period

Do you love me question mark

Please, please exclamation point

I want to hold you in parentheses



Right on up to high school, people said I was a writin' fool

All my letters became really great, with punctuation that was never late

But I was havin' trouble meetin' girls, I never knew the things to say

Soon I had 'em all overwhelmed, when they heard me talk this way, like this



Chorus
