I sat down to write you a song
So I grabbed my notebook
And debated whether
To use a pencil or pen

Whatever comes a floatin'
Well here's your song, darlin'

I was thinkin' that -
Well nevermind it
I was wonderin' if -
Sorry, just forget it
Would it be okay if -
La la la la la la
(spoken) Here goes nothin'

Oh, after a long while
After I thought it out
I settled with blue ink, yeah
To tell you what I think, huh

Whatever comes a floatin'
Well here's your song, darlin'

I was thinkin' that -
Well nevermind it
I was wonderin' if -
Sorry, just forget it
Would it be okay if -
La la la la la la
(spoken) Here goes nothin'

Because I know that I
Could never write a song
As perfect as you are
So I'm settling for
Whatever comes a floatin'
Well did you like your song, darlin'?
