(Spelled Your Name Wrong on Your) Valentine
Lyrics by Ted Horrell
So I spelled your name wrong on your valentine
Do you have to remind me every day?
You say, “You must’ve had another on your mind.”
But need I remind you of the wonderful way
I take your hand at night and in the morning and at noon
So I spelled your name wrong on your valentine
Can’t we forget about it, now that it’s June?
Well your parents didn’t spell your name the way it sounds
Hey, I wasn’t around. Aren’t they partly to blame?
You say, you feel like you don’t even know me now
But need I remind you of the wonderful way
I take you in my arms as soon as you walk in the room
So I spelled your name wrong on your valentine
Can’t we forget about it, now that it’s June?
You didn’t take it well
But I could not foretell
What that mistake would spell for me
So I spelled your name wrong on your valentine
Does it have to define everything that I say
You didn’t even read the other lines
I asked you to be mine till the end of our days
But it’s hard to read a card when it’s flying across the room
So I spelled your name wrong on your valentine
Can’t we forget about it, now that it’s June?
Do you have to remind me do you have to remind me like you do?
You’re making me nervous cause your birthday’s coming soon.
