The cats in the garden and the mice are coming out to play
I've got money in my pocket but I'll save it for a rainy day
Outside the sun is shining but I feel like sleeping in
It's the second day I've worn this shirt, don't think anyone notices.
I put my heart in a suitcase and took it out on parade
I thought I had lost it, you found it at baggage claim
I said you could keep it but worried that it might break
You said you were strong, that you didn't mind the weight, you said
Would you be mine, be my valentine
Would you be mine, be my valentine
We went to the garden, the moonlight carried us 'til day
I've got stars in my eyes, we're wrapped up in the milky way
It's the second day I've worn your shirt and nothing ever fits this way
I've been contemplating leaving but darling I think I'll stay
Would you be mine, be my valentine
Would you be mine, be my valentine
Would you be mine, be my valentine
Would you be mine, be my valentine
