lyrics

I had not seen her so beautiful.
I had not see her so like you before.
I had not seen her so pretty.
I had not seen her so close to gettin' with me.
Caught me off guard.
Did not believe her.
I must have not been looking too hard.
I had not seen her.

I had not seen her so excited
I had not seen her so close to crying.
I had not seen her so close to tears.
I had not seen her in all these years.
Caught me off guard.
Did not believe her.
I must have not been looking too hard.
I had not seen her.

Silent standing next to me.
She loves in similes.
Silent walking out the door.
She screams in metaphor.

Say it in plain language
You don't need to couch it in pretty prose
Show don't tell, I'm a visual learner
Love is like a blah blah rose
Love is like a simile
Literary Pickleberry
Loaf of bread stick of butter whim
Love is like a huckleberry
Hackensack black hack
Huckleberry Pseudonym Jim

I have not loved her… so sweetly.
I have not loved her… so completely
I have not loved her quite like you suggest
I have not loved her ever before I guess
I have not loved her
I have not loved her
I must have not been trying to hard
I have not loved her

I betta get the Cliffs Notes.

Buggy Jive Albany, New York

BUGGY JIVE is a soul rock singer-songwriter quietly uploading music from a basement somewhere in Upstate New York.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say. ... more
