about

This is a pure love song! I've written the mandatory she’s left me song, I've left her song, sorry I acted like a wanker song, the purely fun lust after you song and so on, but this is my first, I really love you song. This is a song about being besotted with someone, and the people around you seeing how great it is too. Yes, I've not used the usual clichéd phrases to show someone I adore them, but if you can’t have a laugh when you’re in love, when can you?

lyrics

Verse 1:
You’re my good time, when I’m happy.
You’ve got a secret place that makes me ecstatic.
You lift me up when I sink into my couch,
feeling like I never really want to get out.
You’re my inspiration when I feel all is lost,
what you do to me when you smile makes me hot.

Chorus:
I’ve been known to hide in corners all alone,
thinking of a happy place where no one else knows.
Where I want to be.

Want to be your panties, hanging round your waist,
so every time you move your hips I’ll get a little taste.
Want to be your panties, hanging round your waist,
so every time you move your hips I’ll get a little taste.
Of joy, of joy, of joy, of happiness and joy.
Of joy, of joy, of joy, of pure happiness and joy.

Verse 2:
You make me feel like a king up on high,
if I was a Rasta I’d smoke you all the time.
I even look good when I scratch my ass in public,
no one ever notices cause you’re so perfect.
My friends and family pray that you won’t go away,
they pray to every god they know just so you’ll stay.

Chorus:
I've been known to fight in corners all alone,
thinking of a happy place where no one else knows.
Where I want to be.

I want to be your panties hanging round your waist,
so every time you move your hips I’ll get a little taste.
I want to be your panties hanging round your waist,
so every time you move your hips I’ll get a little taste.
Of joy, of joy, of joy, of happiness and joy.
Of joy, of joy, of joy, of pure happiness and joy.
Yes it’s joy, its joy, its joy, you put a smile on my
face that life just can’t destroy.
Yes it’s joy, its joy, its joy, you put a smile on my
face that life just can’t destroy.
Its joy………………….
Its joy………………….
I want to be your panties hanging round your waist,
so every time you move your hips I’ll get a little taste,
Of joy, of pure heavenly joy.
