FUNNY LITTLE VALENTINE ©LKING 2008
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME BABY ,
SINCE I LEFT THAT GIRL BEHIND
AND AFTER ALL THIS TIMEYOU KNOW
I GUESS YOU BEEN ON MY MIND
I WOULDA’ WRITTEN YOU A LETTER MAYBE,
MAYBE EVEN TRIED TO CALL
BUT THE LITTLE PIECE’O’ PAPER WITH YOUR NUMBER
FELL OFF THE WALL

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME
SO I’M SENDING YOU A LETTER
MY FUNNY LITTLE VALENTINE

TOO MANY TIMES,
I NEVER DID WHAT I SHOULD
TOO MANY TIMES,
I NEVER SAID WHAT I COULD
TOO MANY TIMES, MORE BEEN BAD THAN GOOD
I HAD THE MONEY IN MY HAND
BUT I NEVER COULD FIND THE TIME

BUT I NEVER COULD DROP THAT DIME
SO I’M SENDIN YOU A LETTER
