things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

wake up in the am, time to get dressed

am ready for a full plate, I must confess

my lady still dreaming in the comfy of her nest

probably stayed up late again as I slept

lest I be behind on a scheduled quest

into town what awaits, only one way to find out

let’s, and that means us as in we

you and i as a tandem, a beautiful team

so I try to bring her back to ground level

low blood pressure and what not

and what the blood clot she turns into a cling devil

curled in a blanket, a full case of baskets

the only way to counter is sunshine

an eye drop like medicine, one time

open up the curtains hallelujah nice day

I can sense a growl fired my way, so I say

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

are you set to go, take an extra hour

for a shower from head to toe

so, so clean in the bathrobe

time to pick a wardrobe, gotta coordinate

pierce on the earlobes

one of a kind, impossible to copy

the same plush mix of futuristic vintage

brush off the dust, spiffy like mintage

opens the mirror, simple or lavish

make-up in progress bar in percentage

I gotta be patient or else, I can risk getting

stuck on a color wheel spinning like a film reel

worst case scenario force quit the app yo

don't wanna let that get into the middle of

having a blast in the afternoon and be a snub

don't wanna let this get into the middle of

I can let it go when you show me a little love

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

forget I said twice, it could've been thrice

the only thing that matters is I'm paying the price

but the prize won is worth more than ever before

an A for an effort, but por favor

trust that I'm in it for the long haul

understand I can withstand the onslaught

of attacks on my character, your own flaws

I can swallow 'em raw like a coleslaw

I'm lost without your expertise, you know

I'm a teenage boy in front of your strip tease

days seem twice as long without you

in a sense that I can't stop thinking about you

I've already written letters flattering my better half

my other half just wants to see you laugh

as for now this poem will suffice

things take twice as long

I said twice as nice, 'cause of the sacrifice

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

things take twice as long

things cost twice as much

but it's your touch that

makes life twice as nice

cause it's your touch that

makes life tw
