your name in song

i was driving to the shop one day with my mate carol, and i said to her "wouldn't it be really terrible if you had a name that was in a famous song, 'cos people would immediately think of it when they met you, and really annoying people would probably sing it at you, thinking they were legends of funnyness". ok, that's a paraphrased version. but she gave me a look, and i remembered that i should always think about what i say before i say it.

oh carol, i am but a fool.

[lyric]
you know i said i'd hate your name in a song
it doesn't mean that we can't try to get along
it's sometimes funny
when we talk
warm and runny
could this be love?
i couldn't say
at least not today

and now i've gone and put your name in a song
all the girls and boys at home could sing along
i'd never say never
just not today
it's sometimes easier
to walk away
i will return
to get my fingers burned
