Murphy's Law
Smitten Charms and Sloppy Joes: Unveiling Love in Murphy's Law
Lyrics
How do I love thee girl well this might take awhile
Expressing uncertainty about how to convey love, suggesting it's a complex feeling.
Twas at the little gala I first saw your pretty smile
Recalling the first encounter at a social event where the girl's smile caught the attention.
I knew it in an instant I was smitten by your charm
Instantly falling for the girl due to her charming qualities.
Don't take me for a fool my lass just take me in your arms
Asserting that the speaker is not naive but eager for a genuine embrace.
How do I love thee girl just look into my eyes
Inviting the girl to understand the depth of love by looking into the speaker's eyes.
Forget about the fact you think I ain't nobody's prize
Disregarding the notion of not being perceived as valuable, emphasizing a deeper connection.
So walk with me awhile and I'll tell ya all's I know
Proposing a walk together to share personal experiences and thoughts.
I bet I'll win your heart before you eat that Sloppy Joe
Expressing confidence in winning the girl's heart before she finishes eating a Sloppy Joe.
Oh but how do I love thee girl let me think a bit
Contemplating the various ways of expressing love and seeking permission to do so.
I'd love you every way I know if you would just permit
Expressing willingness to love the girl in every possible way with her consent.
But alas I am a stranger and you're leery of my ways
Acknowledging being a stranger and understanding the girl's caution.
To this I say Baloney now let the fiddles play
Dismissively calling the girl's caution "Baloney" and suggesting to enjoy the moment.
She was just a little Irish girl born to be a tease
Describing the girl as a playful Irish tease, possibly suggesting a flirtatious nature.
When I asked for her to tell me her name
Recalling a request for the girl's name, which is revealed to be Murphy.
She said her name was Murphy
Warning about potential issues, possibly related to the girl being named Murphy.
So I should be warned though my mojo wasn't really to blame
Stating that personal charm, represented by "mojo," is not to blame for the situation.
But I wasn't giving up wasn't tossing in the towel wasn't giving up this ornery dame
Determined not to give up on pursuing the girl despite challenges.
Tomorrow I'd be back and I'd bring along my varicose veins
Committing to return, emphasizing persistence by bringing up varicose veins humorously.
How do I love thee girl when you play hard to get
Questioning how to love the girl when she plays hard to get, indicating a challenge.
You'd think I'd take the hint by now but I guess I haven't yet
Acknowledging a lack of response to hints, possibly reflecting the speaker's persistence.
So walk with me awhile through the meadow of the moor
Proposing another walk, this time through a metaphorical meadow, despite difficulties.
I think I stepped in something I think it's horse manure
Humorously expressing a realization of stepping into an unpleasant situation, possibly related to pursuit.
