[Verse 1]
Flowers, I sent
Were found dead on their arrival
The words, I said
Inserted foot in my mouthful
So when, we dance
My lead it ain't so graceful
Isn't so, not ain't so

[Chorus]
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'Cause I'm, in, in love with you

[Verse 2]
And when, we dine
I forget to push in your seat
I wear the wine
Spillin' hearts, all over my sleeve
A stitch in time
Proposing down on my knees
(Splitting between the seams)

[Chorus]
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'Cause I'm, in, in love with you
[Bridge]
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I've seen
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I've seen
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I, get into
When I'm with you
Tragic comedy

[Chorus]
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a 'Tragic Comic'
'Cause I'm, in love with you
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a 'Tragic Comic'
'Cause I'm, in, in love with you
