lyrics

He hits with a hard hammer
Animal crackers
I wanted this one to work.
But I’m here
Not of my own will
It was a big quilt
That much I am sure of.

You are ugly
And you are lovely
You are ugly

I had hoped for a stalemate
Instead of a checkmate
Just two stubborn men
Butting heads

You are ugly
And you are lovely
You are ugly

I’ll accept your problems
And you’ll accept my problems
And neither of us will have to
Paint each other into a goddamn corner

You are ugly
And you are lovely
I won’t give in
That would mean that you win
If I give in
That would mean that you win
You win.
