The Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words Lyrics

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 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...
