The Magnetic Fields
Absolutely Cuckoo
[Verse 1]
Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you but
You might decide I'm a nut

[Verse 2]
Give me a week or two to
Go absolutely cuckoo
Then, when you see your error
Then, you can flee in terror

[Verse 3]
Like everybody else does
I only tell you this 'cause
I'm easy to get rid of
But not if you fall in love

[Verse 4]
Know now that I'm on the make
And if you make a mistake
My heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake

[Verse 5]
And all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
[Verse 1]
Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you but
You might decide I'm a nut

[Verse 2]
Give me a week or two to
Go absolutely cuckoo
Then, when you see your error
Then, you can flee in terror

[Verse 3]
Like everybody else does
I only tell you this 'cause
I'm easy to get rid of
But not if you fall in love

[Verse 4]
Know now that I'm on the make
And if you make a mistake
My heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake

[Verse 5]
And all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
[Outro]
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
