Lyrics

[Intro]
Please, just take the mixed bouquet and leave, just leave!
[Verse 1]
Dawn, I will never let you let me leave, I promise I'm not lying
Go ahead, ask anybody who has seen me trying
I'm not going
If it seems like I did, I'm probably waiting outside
[Verse 2]
Such a stubborn man, you'll likely never meet another
When we have our family dinner, you can ask my mother
She's the best
You'll learn more about her on our family history test
[Chorus]
I'm gonna do this right
Show you I'm not moving
Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow, oh
I'm gonna love you so
You'll learn what I already know
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
[Chorus]
You can try
Oh, but I
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
[Bridge]
Ready for your check?
Not quite, pie for everybody
What?
[Verse 3]
I grew up an only child in the suburb of the city
I spent my days alone, my only friend was a stray kitty
Called Sardine (Sardine)
Yeah, I thought it was hilarious to call a cat a kind of fish
[Verse 4]
She'd play hard to get, hissing while she scratched me
What she was trying to say was, "Ogie, come and catch me"
I learned quickly
That perseverance stood between a cat and her new best friend, me
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna do this right
Show you I'm not moving
Wherever you go, I won't be far to follow, oh
I'm gonna love you so
You'll learn what I already know
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
[Refrain]
When you say never
You can try
Oh, but I
I love you means blah, blah, blah, yip, yap, yap, yap
Now get back to work
[Outro]
Oh, you can try
Oh, but I
I love you means you're never, ever, ever getting rid of me
