Andrew Bird, Fiona Apple - Left Handed Kisses lyrics

I don't believe everything happens
For a reason to us romantics out here
That amounts to high treason
I don't go in for your star-crossed lovers
In the heart of a skeptic
There's a question that still hovers near

For it begs the question
How did I ever find you?
Now you got me writing love songs
With a common refrain like this one here
Baby

And all your left handed kisses
Were just prelude to another
Prelude to your backhanded love song, baby

But it begs a question
How did I ever find you?
Drifting gently through the gyre
Of the great Sargasso sea, Atlantic Ocean
Got me writing love songs
With a common refrain like this one here

The point your song here misses
Is that if you really loved me
You'd risk more than a few 50 cent words
In your backhanded love song

For it begs the question
How did I ever find you
Drifting gently through the gyre
Of the great Sargasso sea, Atlantic Ocean
Ooh

The point your song here misses
You got me writing love songs
Is that you really love me
With a common refrain like this one here
Baby is prelude to another of
Your backhanded love songs

Now it's time for a handsome little bookend
Now it's time to tie up all the loose ends
Am I still a skeptic or did
You make me a believer? If you hesitate
You'll hear the click of the receiver
