“The Damsels in Distress: Book of Songs” is a Paper Opera project to include all of The Damsels in Distress songs. Each page will include song lyrics and an accompanying illustrated image of each song.
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor.
Wishing that I had just a something you wore.
And I didn’t write that, and I’m not like that.
Silent night, Holy night.
Sitting here under a roof of stars.
Wishing you were with me on the hood of this car.
Yeah, I’d like that.
But it’s not like that.
When you say “hi” to me, I translate “I like you.”
When I say nothing to you. Translate, “I love you.”
I’m not dumb and I’m not a dweeb.
I’m just a sucker with no self esteem.
Yeah, I’m like that. But I didn’t write that.
When you say “hi” to me, I translate “I like you.”
When I say nothing to you. Translate, “I love you.”
