Springtime

Jonathan Richman

[Verse 1]
Springtime, I'm out here in your mornin' breezes
And I smell such nectar in your air
But right now the nectar only teases
'Cause springtime should be to share

[Verse 2]
So bold are you, blue sky
And so alive are you, air
Bold and alive am I
But I'm teased now by such a need to share

[Verse 3]
But I want you to tease me
I want you to tease me
Because it has my heart throbbin' so hard and free
And tease more, tease more
Because my heart understands what it was put here for

[Verse 4]
My heart was put here to feel this kind of teasin'
My heart was put here to need to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze
I'm glad I'm teased by the trees
I'm glad I'm teased by this need to share

[Verse 5]
Well, you've got bridges and rivers and tunnels too
Look here, springtime, I admit that I sure need you
But can't you feel my heart poundin' so hard and free?
It works both ways, now you need me

[Verse 6]
I'm so loving', I'm so lovin', I'm so lovin'
You must feel my heart skipping and a-throbbin'
I am so alive now, so alive now, I'm so lovin'
I love each animule out here kissin' and a-huggin'

[Verse 7]
I feel so alive, so alive, so alive
I feel each bee comin' out of their hive
I'm so alive, so alive, so lovin'
The world must feel my heart poundin' because it's throbbin' and it's throbbin' and it's throbbin'

[Verse 8]
I said, springtime morning breezes
You got the nectar in your air
But right now the nectar just teases
'Cause springtime is put here to share

[Verse 9]
And so bold are you, blue sky
And so alive are you, air
Bold and alive am I
But I'm teased by the need to share

[Verse 10]
So please tease me, though, I want you to tease me
You know, you got my heart throbbin' so hard, so free
Tease more, tease more
My heart will know what it was put here for

[Verse 11]
Put here to feel thy teasing
My heart was put here to have to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze
And I'm glad to be teased by the trees
I'm even glad to be teased by this need to share
