Sincerely
T.Hanks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you choose a date?
Whose company would you enjoy?
One thing you can consider is looks
Woody thought of Janet and how good looking she was
He'd really have to race to date somebody like her
Yes he'd enjoy that
Well it's too bad Janet always acts so superior and bored
She'd make a fellow feel awkward and inferior

Oh honey
Are you out of love?
Oh honey
Are you out of touch?
Was it the way I threw you around?
I'm so sorry
It wasn't easy
I don't mean to let you down
But I let you down
Down

Well perhaps someone who doesn't feel superior?
There's Betty?
But yet it just doesn't seem as if she'd be much fun
What about Anne?
She knows how to have a good time
And how to make the fellow with her relax and have fun too
Yes that's what a boy likes
He wants to know he's appreciated
Anne would be fun on a date
But just how should he ask her?
And what if she refuse?

Oh honey
Have you lost your soul?
Oh it's painful
The way you act so cold
Well I guess it was something I said
I'm so sorry
It wasn't easy
I don't mean to let you down
But I let you down
Down

I'm frustrated
You know I hate this
You think it's not bad though
I think it's bad





Anne?
This is Woody...
