lyrics

I had a screw loose in my mind.
My thoughts came all undone; I fell apart inside.
I had a terrible case of feeling blue.
I ran all over this town trying to find that screw.

And then my mind opened wide on you,
and I could not take my eyes off you.
I loved you then and continue to,
and now I know that you love me, too;
you said you do.

Did you ever watch how a squirrel goes around, burying its nuts just any old place?
And then when winter comes around, well, they’re lost without a trace.
Someone wise once told me, “What’s the use of going around, looking for lost treasure,
digging underground, when all you really have to do to find it is just take a look around?”

And then my mind opened wide on you,
and I could not take my eyes off you.
I loved you then and continue to,
and now I know that you love me, too.

Well, that’s the end of my story; I guess there really isn’t that much to it.
And you know, I never did find that lost screw—ah, but screw it!
‘Cause you can go on living your life, everything all screwed up tight,
but maybe—just maybe—if you get a little screw loose, everything will be alright.

And then my mind opened wide on you,
and I could not take my eyes off you.
I loved you then and continue to,
and now I know that you love me, too;
you really do.
Ooh!
