lyrics

valentines day has come an gone and our anniversary too,
mother's day was un-celebrated, and my birthday late in June
no cards, or flowers or shiny trinkets to hang around my neck
no negligees or chocolate hearts, gift certificates or checks
my friends don't understand why i am not at all upset
so i guess i should explain the real goodies that i get

he changes didies, he makes me pizza,
he walks the children to the park, washes dishes,
reads bedtime stories
and keeps me purring after dark
i prefer the way he shows his love
spontaneous and from the heart
to store-bought emotions
from the marketing team at hallmark

the colourful grocery store displays remind us when to care
sell cards and cups and plaques and holiday print underwear
useless junk to clutter up our lives and waste our hard earned cash
we said enough prepackaged sentiments and tossed them in the trash
now we don't rush to the store for a card
don't sneak some flowers from the neighbor's yard

he makes me popcorn, we watch a movie,
we ride our bikes down to the park,
we hunt for mushrooms, we read together,
we lie and listen to the rain long after dark
i prefer the love we share
a thousand little ways
than humdrum social rituals on
prefabricated holidays
