Chuffed for You (Comparing Birthmarks)

from Done. Gone. Folk. by Teo Peralez

/

lyrics

It happened minutes off the plane/
In an unfamiliar town/
"Say darlin', are you headin' my way?/
Cause I don't know my way around/
Oh girl, just tell me your name/
Maybe I'll write a song for you"/
We hit the town til 3 AM/
Then she said, "Boy... I'm chuffed for you"

And she said/
"I know some people call it fate/
Some people find their matches in the starts/
But me, I play this silly game/
The way I know it's lovw is when you show me your birthmark baby..."

So I said/
"Show me your, I'll show you mine"/
I swear hers looked just like a star/
And me, well mine is on my side/
I'm the man with a crooked heart/
But I know I loved her then/
We drank away the afternoon/
Praying Auckland summers would never end/
Each time she said "Boy, I'm chuffed for you"

Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
"I'm chuffed for you..."

Another week I'm on a plane/
She caught a bus down the avenue/
But if she ever comes back my way/
I'll play her a sonmg called "Chuffed for You"

Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
Oh, oh/
Oh, oh/
Why did I leave her/
On the other side of the world/
Now I'm home/
Oh, oh/
The days just aren't the same/
Without hearing you say/
"I'm chuffed for you..."
