Jonathan Larson
Valentine’s Day (JLP Version)
[Andy Mientus]
[Verse 1]
He was a greeting card candy cupid
There was a blizzard, it was twenty below
She was fifteen, clean, lonely and stupid
As pure as the virgin snow
He pulled her in from the storm
How the fire was warm
She didn't have the nerve to say no
Didn't have the nerve to say no

[Chorus]
Beat her till she's black and blue and grey
Draw a little heart
Draw a little arrow
Draw a little blood
V-v-v-valentines day

[Verse 2]
Red wine Waterford crystal, chocolate kisses and lace
Knives and chains and a pistol mounted on a wall like scars on her face
He said he liked to play rough, as he locked the handcuff
She knew it'd be tough to escape
She knew it'd be tough to escape

[Chorus]
Beat her till she's black and blue and grey (beat her till she's
Black and blue and grey)
Draw a little heart (draw a little heart)
Draw a little arrow (draw a little arrow)
Draw a little blood
V-v-v-valentines day
[Bridge]
February winter in her heart
Said I'd show her normal love
She said "too late to start"
She said "too late to start"

[Verse 3]
Now her fashion is basically leather, favorite color is basically red
And her passions change like the weather, as she dances from bed, to bed, to bed
And she feels like a fool but she likes her men cruel
And I doubt she'll be cool till she's dead
I doubt she'll be cool till she's dead

[Chorus + Outro: All]
She says
Beat me till I'm black and blue and
Grey (beat me till I'm black and blue and grey)
Draw a little heart (draw a little heart)
Draw a little arrow (draw a little arrow)
Draw a little, but she says draw a little arrow
Draw a little heart
Draw a little arrow
Draw a little blood
V-v-v-valentines, v-v-v-valentines day
Valentines day, v-v-v-valentines day
Valentines day, v-v-v-valentines day
Valentines day
