lyrics

Andi, I want to tell you something from my truest heart
From my blackest heart, from my bluest heart
I asked Amanda if she thought I was a fool
she doesn't entertain questions like that, as a rule

I came to love you from my meanest heart
from my reddest heart, from my greenest heart
A year ago I said I wouldn't say it anymore
but the fact is, Andi, I'm even readier than before

I know you don't speak in code, but if you did
I've heard a shred of doubt is a place you've often hid
So from my youngest heart, from my oldest heart
I'm calling to you from the boldest part

Andi, come and live with me, look at all the space I've got
Amanda finally answered me, no Amina, of course not
I told her what I'd say if I were telling it to someone else
Of course you are, now get out there, make a fool out of yourself
