A Walk in the Park
The New Electric Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walking through the park one day,
I think it could have been the month of may,
When you talked to me,
Begging please,
But I wouldn't marry you,
I wouldn't marry,
And if I did,
Well you would not be,
My true love,

I'll bury myself,
Up under this rock,
And wait till you go away,
Because I don't want to be...
More than friends.

I was walking through the park one June,
Probably should have seen it comin soon,
When you talked to me,
Begging please,
But I wouldn't marry you,
I wouldn't marry,
And if I did,
Well you would not be,
My true love,

Well I'll bury myself,
Up under this rock,
And wait till you went away,
Because I don't want to be...
More than friends...

Only if I would have tried a little harder,
Maybe could have worked out right,
Only if you woulda stayed a little longer,
Maybe could have worked out right,
I said maybe would have worked out right,
sometime.

I was walking with you in the park,
I think it could have been the month of march,
When you talked to me,
Begging please,
But I wouldn't marry you,
I wouldn't marry,
And if I did,
Well you would not be,
My true love,

I'll bury myself,
Up under this rock,
And wait till you go away,




Because I don't want to be...
More than friends...
