rough around the edges

He's got style,
He's got grace,
And puts a smile upon my face,
And with every little glance,
My heart begins to race,
With the clouds,
The sun,
The moon and the stars.

He's rough around the edges,
And can see above the hedges,
That scarcely border,
My love,
And I wear my heart right on his sleeve,
Cuz I know,
I know that he'll never leave,
And to me that boy means everything.

Hair like the ocean,
And we're laughing and joking,
All the time,
This boy is mine,
He knows,
He knows,
I love the rain,
And I can't,
I can't,
I couldn't stand the pain,
To see him happy with some other girl.

He's rough around the edges,
And can see above the hedges,
That scarcely border,
My love,
And I wear my heart right on his sleeve,
Cuz I know,
I know that he'll never leave,
And to me that boy means everything.

I think I care too much,
And I think I know,
Just how it's gunna go,
We'll love we'll hate,
And forever date,
But soon enough,
I'll drown,
I'll drown,
In that body of water.

He's rough around the edges,
And can see above the hedges,
That scarcely border,
My love,
And I wear my heart right on his sleeve,
Cuz I know,
I know that he'll never leave,
And to me that boy means everything.
