Lady Dolphin and her Dolphin beau

Were swimming out to sea one day

All the other lady dolphins smiled

But they were smiling in that subtle dolphin way



So they pretended that they'd pay it no mind

But she was female, of the jealous kind

She couldn't stand it not to ask him why

She could see that he was flattered by the twinkle in his eye



She said, "How much do you need me?"

How much do you need me?

Would you stay with me 'til this ocean floor is dry?

But if you cannot find the words that say

I'm the only one you love that way

I guess we'll have to say goodbye"



He said, "My love for you is wider than the wide Sargasso Sea

There ain't no bigger number I know, but

I never counted every ripple on the sea."



He said that words had never failed him yet

But before our future course is set

I have to find a way to win you dear

But there's two atmospheres of pressure on me here



How much do I need you? How much do I need you?

Can't seem to find the words to make you stay

But remember all the things I've said

That I'll love you 'til the day I'm dead

'Cause I need you like this hole in my head

I need you like this hole in my head
