Lyrics

[00:00.00] $$$ Jermen
[00:01.60] Walk across the courtyard,
[00:05.01] Towards the library.
[00:08.86] I can hear the insects buzz on the leaves, 'neath my feet.
[00:17.87] Ramble up the stairwell,
[00:21.88] To the hall of books.
[00:25.65] Since we got the interweb these hardly get used.
[00:34.69] Duck into the men's room,
[00:38.56] Combing through my hair.
[00:42.41] When God gave us mirrors he had no idea.
[00:51.20] Looking for a lesson
[00:55.35] In the periodicals,
[00:59.00] There I spy you listening to the AM radio.
[01:07.92] Karen of the Carpenters,
[01:12.02] Singing in the rain.
[01:16.21] Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way.
[01:24.53] It's not like you're not trying,
[01:28.56] With a pencil in your hair,
[01:32.65] To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there
[01:43.67] Simple little bookworm,
[01:47.50] Buried underneath
[01:51.69] Is the sexiest librarian.
[01:55.43] Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.
[02:04.27] So I watch you through the bookcase,
[02:08.44] Imagining a scene.
[02:12.56] You and I had dinner,
[02:15.53] Spending time when you sleep.
[02:19.35] And what can I say to you,
[02:25.35] Lying there in bed.
[02:29.35] These words were the kiss I would play in your head.
[02:39.80] What is it inside our heads
[02:43.90] That makes us do the opposite,
[02:47.86] Makes us do the opposite
[02:51.10] Of what's right for us.
[02:56.28] 'Cause everything be great,
[03:00.20] And everything be good,
[03:04.07] And everybody gave,
[03:08.15] Like everybody could.
[03:13.71] Sweetest little bookworm,
[03:16.98] Hidden underneath
[03:20.41] Is the sexiest librarian.
[03:24.91] Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.
[03:32.89] Take off those glasses, and let down your hair for me.
[03:46.59] Simple little beauty,
[03:50.65] Heaven in your breath.
[03:55.09] Simplest of pleasures
[03:58.64] The world at its best
