the beautiful south
from now on
Water the plants, feed the cat Leave that door key under the mat I'm your number one from now on  Set the code, close the door You don't live there anymore I'm your number one from now on  Nothing grows so quickly as the vine That wraps you up so tight and says 'You're mine' No time so exciting as the time  You pour away that bottle containing last night's wine Last night's wine, last night's wine What you're taking part in is the cleverest of crimes Last night's wine, just a flickering sign But a necessary sin from time to time  Fold your dress, leave your hair Put on your jeans, you ain't goin' nowhere I'm your number one from now on  Cancel the milk, unplug the phone Close the blinds, you ain't gonna be home I'm your number one from now on  No time quite so easy as the night To hold her far too close or far too tight No catch quite so keen, so quick to bite Than the one that thinks love's possible first or second sight  Love at first sight, love at first sight Swinging from the chandelier, it's a one way ticket flight Love at first sight, so wrong it's right Swing you by your pigtails, set your world alight  Nothing hooks you quicker than the line Thrown straight and from the bank into your spine For family and for friends you'll surely pine But sentiment and nostalgia, they just ain't worth a dime  What worth's a dime? What worth's a dime? You can leave those financial worries well behind What worth's a dime? What worth's a dime? I don't want that bank manager on your pretty little mind Now that you're mine
