When Love Was New

I liked the way your roses grew
I fixed your car and cleaned your shoes
When love was new

I liked your Bart Simpson tattoo
I kissed you when you had the flu
When love was new

At the beach you buried me and kicked hot sand in my eyes
Now I can't believe all the freakish, foolish
Silly, crazy things I did for you
When love was new

I moved that spider from your room
I lied about being vegetarian too
When love was new

I lent my bike to your friend Sue
I even solved you Rubik's Cube
When love was new

I let you beat me playing Super Mario II
Now I can't believe I miss all those self-destructive
Sick, degrading things I did for you

When love was new
