Say Katie
The Sugarplastic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Katie, say Katie
What's a boy to do with one like you?
We've been together such a short time
But I'm quite persuaded that you'll be mine so

Katie, say Katie
How does matrimony sound to you?
We could even wait a day or two
I'll leave it up to you
Just think what such adhesion could bring

I'm in love with you in the worst way oh

Katie, Katie
Does my little song embarrass you?
I see your cheeks have turned that rosy hue
I like it when they do





I'm in love with you in the worst way hey!
