You are a splendid butterfly
it is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay

You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But i could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could if i could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
not if I could write for you the sweetest song you ever heard
Doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me you're un-boyfriend-able
And I could make you pay and pay
But i could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
not if I could write for you the sweetest song you ever heard
Doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words
Doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words
