The Guess Who - Herbert's a Loser lyrics

It sure was scary When I met Mary I didn't understand myself I was a fool when we were in school And she understood me better I guess I had pa**ion It startled her fashion She thought it a small price to pay For fiery nights under northern lites Helps the snow slowly melt away Herbert's a loser His father's a boozer He didn't like himself He lost his cool and he drowned in a pool After writing a cla**ic love letter I guess too much pa**ion Had startled his fashion It started and ended that day He wrote the letter there wasn't one better One reading turned millions his way Now there's Mary It isn't so scary Now that I like myself I'm no fool and we're not in school The water can't get any wetter Now I'm in fashion I'll warm up her pa**ion She'll think it a small price to pay For fiery nights under northern lites Helps the snow slowly melt away
