"Why I Love You" lyrics

She dragged my heart into the flame
She's pleasure and she's pain
She's more than what I bargained for

(Initially I)
Thought she was sand between my toes
But now she's in my clothes
Shoes, socks and nose
(Oh no now I'm getting itchy)

In the winter you're a bright
And sunny day
Then you go and turn to rain
Just when I
Think it's safe to play
And that's why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of dismay)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of gray)
Like August rain into the summer
(No one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, flower, the sweetness to my sour)
You bring the light into the darkness of day

And it's complicated convoluted
No batteries included
When you picture it in your mind
But when she's here
Everything falls into place
Like a brushstroke in this
Painting of her and I
(Mm)

And that's why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of dismay)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of gray)
Like August rain into the summer
(No one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, flower, the sweetness to my sour)
You bring the light into the darkness of day

And that's why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of dismay)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of gray)
Like August rain into the summer
(No one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, flower, the sweetness to my sour)
You bring the light into the darkness of day
