Eels Ugly Love lyrics

Dear cousin, I got your letter
It was more than I thought I deserved
Well she sounds perfect, all I dream of
And I dream about so much it is absurd

But when I get there and she sees me
I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming

My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time

I had a thought while I was sleeping
And I dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But I go too far I guess

Maybe I'll think about tomorrow
And maybe I can get her to stay that long


'Cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time

And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well I decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch

And if she cares about the car I drive
Then she can get in hers the moment I arrive

'Cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
