True Love is You

My publicist said it was time to move on
It was winter of 2004
I said goodbye to Ken
Not sure I'll see you again
The endangered turtles need me more
I packed up my scuba diving paraphernalia
And headed off to save loggerheads in Australia

A man said do you have a moment
It would be brief
Then he asked me to snorkel at the Barrier Reef
And I said yes
Oh yes

His ocean blue eyes were the cure for what ails ya
He swept me off my feet, right there in Australia

He made me think love was adrenaline rushes
Great abs, tan skin
and passionate crushes
the withering stare of a leading man
that makes you forget your original plan

As I rehabilitated a platypus
I started remembering the two of us
thinking about how you were always there
And daydreaming less about his amazing hair

Because true love isn't just really really really really really really really really really really sexy arms

True love is you
True love is you
Why'd I have to go all the way to Australia
To finally have the words to tail ya
That true love is you

So after I put another shrimp on the barbie
I hightailed it out of that outdoor party
Said goodbye to Blaine, hopped on a plane
And headed right back where I'd come from

True love is
You-culyptus trees were nice for a while
But I realized I couldn't live without your smile
And every time I walked past a kangaroo
I couldn't help but think about me and you

And its true
True love is you
Why'd I have to go all the way to Australia
To finally have the words to tail ya

And even though their licorice was extra sweet
And Vegemite was kinda a treat
It was cool walking with a wallaby but
I wanted to hold you like a koala held me

Knowing you were always waiting in the wing
Whether I was singing or award announcing
True love is feeling consistent and steady
It's patiently waiting while you're getting ready

True love is you
True love is you
Why'd I have to go all the way to Australia
To finally have the words to tail ya?

That true love is you
True love is you
