Lyrics

MMM
By Gary Edwards

(Verse 1)
I looked through the dictionary
To find the perfect word
Seems I lack vocabulary
To make my feelings heard
(Lift)
You must wonder why, I sent a text with just one letter
But to express how I feel, nothing says it better
(Chorus)
Than mmmmmmm, mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
(Verse 2)
How can I say that I adore you
In a very special way
There is simply no word for it
Without sounding so cliché
(Lift)
What was I thinking, how could I have pressed send?
Such a silly message, just one long line of ms
(Chorus)
mmmmmmmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
(Verse 3)
I’m sure that Mr. Webster
Would look at this and frown
A word with just one letter
Nothing but a sound
(Lift)
I was sure you wouldn’t get it, but how to make amends
Then I get a message back and it’s a whole page filled with ms
(Chorus)
Mmmmmmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
