Your Shopping Lists Are Poetry
Mint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She feeds me fruit
And sweeps my fears
I never saw all these things so clear
I had my wall
Straight and nicely sized
But when she came resistance
Vaporized
Oh baby, your shopping lists are poetry
You got me crawling on the floor
You're all and everything I want to be
And so much more
She feeds my mind
My thoughts belong
Just like the words in a Paddy Mcaloon song
And when she smiles
Her gaze is gleu
Oh girl, I'll try and stay healthy for you
Oh baby, your shopping lists are poetry
You got me crawling on the floor
You're all and everything I want to be
And so much more (4x)
So much more
Oh baby, your shopping lists are poetry
Oh baby, your shopping lists are poetry
You're all and everything I want to be




Oh baby, your shopping lists are poetry
Oh yeah (4x)
