Lyrics
Dear cousin
I got your letter
It was more than I thought
I deserved
Well she sounds perfect
All I dream of
And I dream about so much
It is absurd
But when I get there
And she sees me
I'll be impressed
If she does not
Run screaming
My kind of love
Is an ugly love
But it's real
And it lasts
A long, long time
I had a thought
While I was sleeping
And I dreamed about a place
For us to rest
Eternity
Under the old oak tree
But I go too far
I guess
Maybe I'll
Think about tomorrow
And maybe
I can get her
To stay that long
'Cause
My kind of love
Is an ugly love
But it's real
And it lasts
A long, long time
And if she finds me
So repulsive
She wouldn't be
The first to wretch
Well I decided
One day long ago
I was never gonna be
The greatest catch
And if she cares
About the car I drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment I arrive
'Cause
My kind of love
Is an ugly love
But it's real
And it lasts
A long, long time
My kind of love
Is an ugly love
But it's real
And it lasts
A long, long time
