Lyrics for Ugly Love

Dear cousin, I got your letter It was more than I thought I deserved Well she sounds perfect, all I dream of And I dream about so much it is absurd But when I get there and she sees me I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming My kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time I had a thought while I was sleeping And I dreamed about a place for us to rest Eternity under the old oak tree But I go too far I guess Maybe I'll think about tomorrow And maybe I can get her to stay that long 'Cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time And if she finds me so repulsive She wouldn't be the first to wretch Well I decided one day long ago I was never gonna be the greatest catch And if she cares about the car I drive Then she can get in hers the moment I arrive 'Cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time My kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
