Lilac Girl Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

My Lilac Girl, oh 

Only you can turn my eloquence to banality 

Only you can make importancies into trivialities 

Only you can cure this malady 

Only you can make me swoon

My lilac girl, oh 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la lilac girl oh ooh oh 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la lilac girl 

She brushes her hair 

She climbs down the stairs 

Suddenly she's aware that she's beautiful 

She looks so delicious 

As she's washing the dishes 

Suddenly she wishes just like all the fishes in the sea 

That she was with me 

She was with me, oh ooh oh 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la lilac girl oh ooh oh 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la 

Well I may lie like a rug 

But I mean when I say that I wanna lie down next to you 

I may lie like a rug 

But I mean when I say it's a lilac girl

Only you can turn my eloquence to banality 

Only you can make importancies into trivialities 

Only you can cure this malady 

Only you can make me swoon 

My lilac girl, oh ooh oh 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la lilac girl oh ooh oh 

(Only you can make me swoon)
