I wanna write you a symphony Replete with cannon and timpani All four movements in different keys Then maybe you'd see me differently I wanna write you an epic poem Where the hero fights for his love at home ('Cause that's what happens in an epic poem) Bind it myself in leather tomes Then maybe you'd read me differently But all i've got is this stupid tune And that's not enough to make you feel the way i do I wanna write you a big hit record (Wanna write you a symphony) Sing the words in a southern accent Print all the copies from a platinum lacquer Put your face on the dust jacket Wanna knit you a sweater wanna write you a love letter But you know Joni just did it better If only i were a little more clever Maybe you'd see me differently But all i've got is this stupid tune And that's not enough to make you feel the way i do All i've got is this minor chord, line cliches That's all i've got to make you feel this way I wanna write you a symphony Hell let's make it a trilogy Let it loop for infinity Maybe you'll love me Maybe you'll love me Maybe you'll love me Maybe you'll love me differently
