Ode To Gilbert

she works in a dessert establishment

selling doughnuts from 9 to 5

filling them up with raspberry jam

and dreaming away her life

thinking about the boy next door

who works in dvds

lauren just wants a boy to love

and share her fantasies



she wants to climb up high and shout out loud

'im the king of the world'

she wants to crawl down low and hide a while

and watch how people smile

she wants to fly to the moon in a lacy bra

and parachute the whole way back

but lauren just wants a boy to love

what's so hard about that?



in a hairnet and wistful frown

she offers some girls their change

staring at their polka dot dresses

she thinks they all look the same

reckons she's got more to give than transparent beauty

lauren just wants a boy to love

and share her fantasies
