The Guess Who

(Leskiw/Winter)

It sure was scary
When I met Mary
I didnââ?¬â?¢t understand myself
I was a fool when we were in school
And she understood me better
I guess I had passion
It startled her fashion
She thought it a small price to pay
For fiery nites under northern lites
Helps the snow slowly melt away

Herbertââ?¬â?¢s a loser
His fatherââ?¬â?¢s a boozer
He didnââ?¬â?¢t like himself
He lost his cool and he drowned in a pool
After writing a classic love letter
I guess too much passion
Had startled his fashion
It started and ended that day
He wrote the letter there wasnââ?¬â?¢t one better
One reading turned millions his way

Now thereââ?¬â?¢s Mary
It isnââ?¬â?¢t so scary
Now that I like myself
Iââ?¬â?¢m no fool and weââ?¬â?¢re not in school
The water canââ?¬â?¢t get any wetter
Now Iââ?¬â?¢m in fashion Iââ?¬â?¢ll warm up her passion
Sheââ?¬â?¢ll think it a small price to pay
For fiery nites under northern lites
Helps the snow slowly melt away
