I slept in today, my alarm sounded no plea

I’m running quite late — and she told me she loves me

But in my hot haste, I twisted my knee

I’m in agony — and she told me she loves me

Still stumbling, I realized I’d misplaced my key

It’s a quarter till eight — and she told me she loves me

I’m half-asleep, hungry, have places to be

But I can’t stop smiling — cause she told me she loves me

I get in the car and suddenly see…

That it’s Sunday.

It’s my day off.

I drag my body back inside to the heat

      But I’m already warm

            From my crown to my feet

               Cause she told me she loves me.
