Absolutely Cuckoo

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 1 [1999]

Don't fall in love with me yet

We only recently met

True I'm in love with you but

you might decide I'm a nut



Give me a week or two to

go absolutley cuckoo

then, when you see your error,

then, you can flee in terror



Like everybody else does

I only tell you this 'cause

I'm easy to get rid of

but not if you fall in love



Know that I'm the make

and if you make a mistake

my heart will certainly break

I'll have to jump in a lake



And all my friends will blame you

There's no telling what they'll do

It's only fair to tell you

I'm absolutely cuckoo
