Twinemen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

First I learned a word for love
And then a word for you
Then a way to say good morning,
You're beautiful.
Learned a way to say good-bye,
And I will see you soon.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.

Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Cook for you.

First I learned a word for love
And then a word for trust.
Then a way to say I need you
Very, very much.
Learned a way to say good-bye,
And I will see you soon.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.

Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,

Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Cook for you.

Then a way to say good morning,
You're beautiful.
Learned a way to say good-bye,
And I will see you soon.

Teach me all your favourite foods,
I want to cook for you.
Teach me all your favourite foods,
