Every i is dotted with a tiny little heart
All the o's are smiling and it's tearing you apart
When will you destroy her land of love and wonder?
One wrong word is all it takes
to rip her world asunder
Hearts and stars on sweetly scented paper
Nothing you do will ever have the power to save her
Hearts and stars on letters to the wrong boys
She sleeps beneath a shelf with all her old toys
Every time she giggles it's a painful little sound
And she utters all these cliches
when she wants to be profound
You love her cuz she’s fragile
and we all need to feel strong
But I’ll kill you if you break her
and no one would think it’s wrong
Hearts and stars on sweetly scented paper
Nothing you do
will have the power to save her
Hearts and stars on letters to the wrong boys
Uncouth men ordering too many Rob Roys
