absolutely cuckoo

The Magnetic Fields

Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you
but you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two
to go absolutely cuckoo
then, when you see your error,
then, you can flee in terror
like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause
I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
and if you make a mistake
my heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
and all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
