F C Saw Jim Reid in the corridor and I wondered if he could ever see me that way F C He was on my list at the grocery store when you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain F C Read your feature in the weekly paper and honestly I found it a little bit bloated F A# C Friday we fell through the coffee table and that’s when I discovered that my heart exploded A# C How A# C How Chorus: F A# C You’re a lollipop, in the form of a lightning bolt F A# C You’re a lollipop in my hair F A# C But I’m a gumdrop, am I ever gonna fit that mould? F A# C Because I don’t have the patience to wait in line for you, ooh When I came back to apologize You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD I sat next to you on the picnic bench And before I knew it, you were flying next to me I met your baby at the exposition And frankly, I found it a little unnerving I let you know when we were driving home And all I can remember is the fact that we're swerving Chorus: You’re a lollipop In the form of a lightning bolt You’re a lollipop in my hair How could I ever obtain you? But you’re a doorstop When you’re lying on the bathroom floor And I don’t have the time to wait in line for you How could I ever betray you?
