Love You Like the Squirrel Loves His Cookie

It was a summer day, just a young heart in a daze

A simple moment, Two hearts that grew, sliding over in a Old car to unlock the door for you, that smirk, we laughed about a Bronx tale movie, I fell in love before I knew I was going too.

Seventeen and dreaming, you a little older just

My cousin’s friend, or so I thought I knew,

Laughing about movies, testing the waters

Gotta admit, I was falling for you

But fear held me back, felt like damaged goods 17 homeless, no job,

Thought I wasn’t enough, so I walked away

Years fly by, but memories call

Back to that night, I wish I’d said

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

Wish I told you then, what I know now

Like best friends laughing in a movie theater

I still want you, even if you don’t want me now

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

No matter how many years pass by

Hold onto those moments, the feels so true

Wish I’d said it, I love you, I love you

Time passes, but the heart stays the same

Haunted by dreams of what could’ve been

Now I see clearly, my only regret, that night at the movie theater, is telling you to choose her, instead of me and never saying those words then

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

Wish I told you then, what I know now

Like best friends laughing in a movie theater

I still want you, I don’t know how

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

No matter how many years pass by

Hold onto those moments, the feels so true

Wish I’d said it, I love you, I love you

I miss singing Aliyah to you in your car.

Love was waiting, just beyond my fear

Maybe someday, I’ll find the courage

To tell you loud and clear

I Love you, I want you like Hammy wants his cookie, maybe one day I’ll look over that hedge and you’ll be holding that cookie

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

Wish I told you then, what I know now

Like best friends laughing in a movie theater

I still want you, I don’t know how

I Love you like the squirrel loves his cookie

No matter how many years pass by

Hold onto those moments, the feels so true

Wish I’d said it, I love you, I love you
