Syrup (The Love of My Life)

[Verse 1]
Lookin' out at this cloudy day
The skies are nothing but grey
Workin' 9 to 5 choppin down the trees
And then I got stung by a bee
When we finished the job and the logs were stacked
We were ready to chow down on flapjacks
But the problem arose
The syrup was gone where to find it nobody knows

[Chorus]
They cannot understand my devotion
To the golden waves of emotion
I wouldn't know what to say
If they took my sweet sugary life away
Syrup the love of my life always

[Verse 2]
And as I drove down the lonely road
My manly tears were to explode
I walked in the store with heavy eyes
And to my surprise
There was nothing on the shelves
There's no one to blame but myself
I asked "Is there anymore syrup please?"
When they said "No" I fell to my knees
I told them to check the back
I was about to have a heart attack
The employee said "Wait here"
I had to face my biggest fear
That maybe there was no syrup left to survive
I can't live without the love of my life

[Chorus]
They cannot understand my devotion
To the golden waves of emotion
I wouldn't know what to say
If they took my sweet sugary life away
Syrup the love of my life always

[Verse 3]
So I decided to drive home
Where I spent the day alone
Watching some Jeopardy
Instead of clogging my arteries
My next door neighbor knocked on the door
She never saw me like this before
She asked what caused my pain
So I began to explain
I cried in her blouse
She said "I have some at my house"
Then my hope was restored
And then I felt better than before
Suddenly I had faith
In the human race
In a world filled with hate
I can eat a stack of pancakes

[Final Chorus]
They cannot understand my devotion
To the golden waves of emotion
I wouldn't know what to say
If they took my sweet sugary life away
Syrup the love of my life always
I wouldn't know what to say
If they took my sweet sugary life away
Syrup the love of my life always
