The dogwood's in bloom
Take off your shoes
You cannot choose your family, oh
There's nothing we can do
But screw
And booze and amphetamines, oh



In the springtime, in the house

I was determined to work it out

Oh, in the springtime, in the house

The neighbors heard us scream and shout



And somewhere a screw got loose along the way

And your manners have gone away

And I believe that there will come a day

I believe that you will chase me away



So that you can prove

Love is not enough for you

There's nothing I can do

'Cause I fell in love with you



In the springtime, in a little house

I was determined to work it out

Oh, in the springtime, in a little house

I never told you I had my doubts



Somewhere a screw got loose along the way

And our manners have gone away

And I believe that there will come a day

I believe that you will chase me away



So that you can prove

Love is not enough for you

You thought I was your muse

But all along it was you



And the dogwood's in bloom

There's nothing we can do

But screw, oh
