A Wonderful Guy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe
Any fable I hear from a person in pants

I've been known to share your satirical attitude
Thinking that love should be kept in its place
'Til all of a sudden that lyrical platitude
Bounced up and hit me smack in the face
That's how I turned out to be
The happy young woman you see

[Verse 2]
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie
No more a smart little girl with no heart
I have found me a wonderful guy

I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye
And you will note there's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy

[Verse 3]
I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliche coming true
I'm bromidic and bright as a moon happy night
Pouring light on the dew
[Verse 4]
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a wonderful guy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
