Absolutely Cuckoo Lyrics
Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you, but
You might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
Go absolutely cuckoo
Then, when you see your error
Then you can flee in terror
Like everybody else does
I only tell you this because
I'm easy to get rid of
But not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
And if you make a mistake
My heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
And all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you, but
You might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
Go absolutely cuckoo
Then, when you see your error
Then you can flee in terror
Like everybody else does
I only tell you this because
I'm easy to get rid of
But not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
And if you make a mistake
My heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
And all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo

Did anyone else find it sort of funny that an album titled "69 Loves Songs" opens with the line "Don't fall in love with me?" Cause I sure did.
This is THE mixtape song
I actually did put it on a mixtape... or two... =]
it's that insecurity when you first meet someone and you are soooo in love, but what do they think of you?
god this song perfectly transcribes the feeling i have at the beginning of ever new relationship and i like the part about the lake.... it's like "i need your love, but i need it to be real, and i'm fragile...so be careful with my heart" only they say it better than i can
beautiful track...i love the way his voice rises and falls.
god, the lyrics don even changin an making simpler its obvious
In the booklet it says that it was originally written as a duet, but due to time constraints it was recorded with just Stephin. Which makes this song substantially more interesting IMO.
this song is amazing. haha.
these guys make me laugh.
i love how upbeat the song sounds until you really listen to the lyrics. unbelievably catchy.
this song is amazing.
