Kind Of In Love

The Avett Brothers · Live at the Double Door Inn [2002]

She's as sweet as the summer time

And strong as the sunshine

And I don't want to know her

I let myself down



I'm cold as a winter's storm

I'm soft as a grind stone

And I can't do a thing

To flag my life down



Why do you amaze me?

Why do you amaze me?

Why do you fool me into thinkin'

that I'm kind of in love with you?



She's good as a mystery

A salesman for misery

And I am bankrupt

In debt to my knees



Big brown eyes and curly hair

I wonder if she sees me stare

I can't say why I've fallen

Babe, please have mercy



Why do you amaze me?

Why do you amaze me?

Why do you fool me into thinkin'

that I'm kind of in love with you?



We sink like a ball and chain

If I knew more than your first name

Those eyes you got can't fool me

I know how this goes



We'd wrap ourselves in conversation

You tell lies and try my patience

Bite my tongue in frustration

Or you slap my face



Why do you amaze me?

Why do you amaze me?

Why do you fool me into thinkin'

that I'm kind of in love with you?
