You usually can start a boil well within my blood
But it stopped when the mercury dropped
And now I don't catch like petrified wood
So say you wouldn't mind to get it coursing once again
By dealing me a slap or perhaps just turning up the flame
Sweater weather isn't helping me forget her
In his arms and shes never looked better
She was wrapped around my finger
And presently she's gone but lingers
I know no two ever do look quite the same
But when they fall upon my tongue
They melt away
Strut spiked heels on frozen lakes, blood letting candy canes
Staging gravel snowball fights and feeding chimneys manger hay
All to keep your eyes on me, if it's time that I can bide
Another year how you've grown and another how I've tried
Sweater weather isn't helping me forget her
In his arms and shes never looked better
She was wrapped around my finger
And presently she's gone but lingers
I know no two ever do look quite the same
But every one just melts away
The kids who wake up from their sleep
To find nothing under the tree
Should consider themselves lucky
Sweater weather isn't helping me forget her
In his arms shes never looked better
She was wrapped around my finger
And presently she's gone but lingers
I know no two ever do look quite the same
But when they fall upon my tongue
When she falls upon my tongue
When I catch her on my tongue
She melts away
