James Taylor – Valentine's Day lyrics
Beneath the tide the fishes glide
Fin to fin and side to side
For fishy love has now begun
Fishy love, finny fun

Paper moon, paper heart
Pink balloon, work of art
Al capone, bugs moran
Valentine's day

Bootleg gin, porkpie hat
Dew drop inn, dirty rat
Through the heart, cupid's dart
Valentine's day

Day to repay the one that you love
Gentlemen take off your hats as I speak thereof
Just a brief break from the push and the shove
We may go a few rounds without boxing gloves

Land your punch, I stand my ground
We break for lunch and a second round
We set them up, we knock them down
Valentine's day

Me and you, you and him
Him and her, us and them
We keep score, love as war
Valentine's day

I lost my teeth, I lost my hair
I lost my mind, you don't care
Love is war, all is fair
On valentine's day
