All My Little Words Lyrics - 69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields

You are a splendid butterfly 

It is your wings that make you beautiful 

And I could make you fly away 

But I could never make you stay 

You said you were in love with me 

Both of us know that that's impossible 

And I could make you rue the day 

But I could never make you stay 

Not for all the tea in China 

Not if I could sing like a bird 

Not for all North Carolina 

Not for all my little words 

Not if I could write for you 

The sweetest song you ever heard 

It doesn't matter what I'll do 

Not for all my little words 

Now that you've made me want to die 

You tell me that you're unboyfriendable 

And I could make you pay and pay 

But I could never make you stay 

Not for all the tea in China 

Not if I could sing like a bird 

Not for all North Carolina 

Not for all my little words 

Not if I could write for you 

The sweetest song you ever heard 

It doesn't matter what I'll do 

Not for all my little words 

It doesn't matter what I'll do 

Not for all my little words
