Would it matter to you if you were to discover The specter of you being next to me smothers The rest of my thoughts And if I had my druthers We would have been lovers by now
Would it matter to you if you had to consider That every odd glance my direction delivers A knife to my gut You're the Burns to my Smithers The Burns to my Smithers you are.
Well I'm not quite equipped to be able to cope With what should be a sidesplitting fall And I know I should leave it alone in the hopes That these longings eventually stall
But it's not gonna go away anytime soon And it's not gonna wilt like a week-old balloon And it's as one-dimensional as a cartoon I want you and that's all.
Would it matter to you that the skies seem to vanish Whenever your visage inflicts its full damage Upon my frail vision And though it's outlandish You're all I can manage to see
Would it matter to you that I fall asleep hearing The sound of your voice with the words reappearing In all of my dreams Though it makes me grow weary It's still so endearing to me.
While it's probably true before all's said and done There'll be others who hold me in thrall I still know in the end just before I pass on You're the last thing that I will recall
And I want you like oceans are pulled by the moon And I want you like locusts caught in a monsoon And it's as one-dimensional as a cartoon I want you and that's all
Before what is left of my self-esteem withers And though the mere thought of it still gives me shivers I proudly declare you're the Burns to my Smithers The Burns to my Smithers you are.
