Scotch Tape And Cellophane

(album: Sunset On Summerville - 2022)

You like to send me hand-wrapped packages
In scotch tape and cellophane
And though I can see clearly, every gift you give me
You wouldn't have it any other way (any other way)
It makes you laugh 'cause it takes so long to unwrap
Every single piece
Of scotch tape and cellophane
Shiny, see through, and sticking to me

Ooh babe, your motives are clear
You just wanna watch me struggle
And you always say grinning ear to ear
That my frustrated face is adorable
Oh God...

You like to send me hand-wrapped packages
In scotch tape and cellophane
But you write little notes in between each layer I'm peeling
On sticky notes, obviously (obviously)
You write the worst jokes, knock knocks and stupid puns on the pages
Or the sweetest little things
In between scotch tape and cellophane
Shiny, see through, and sticking to me

Ooh babe, your motives are clear
You wanna see me laugh and get flustered
And you always say grinning ear to ear
That you love making my heart flutter

You like to send me hand-wrapped packages
In scotch tape and cellophane
But it's not the gift that's perfect or makes the tape waste worth it
It's seeing you as I fumble away (You use too much tape, babe)
I love to see your laugh
And your smile that can't hide anything
You're wrapped in scotch tape and cellophane
Shiny, see through and sticking to me
Shiny, see through and sticking to me
