There Once Was a Man

Tell me
I love you more than all the heroes and all the history books in the world
Tell me
What a woman.I'll tell you

There once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he slew a dragon for
They said that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me,I love you more

Tell me
And there once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he gave his kingdom for
They said that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me,I love you more

My love is a giant, fierce and defiant
But how can I prove it to you?
Ain't got no kingdom nor dragon
To back up my braggin'
How can I show what I would do?

I only know there once was a man
Who loved a woman
She was the one he ate the apple for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
But me, I love you more

Tell me
There once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one that she took poison for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more

And once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one she swam the channel for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more

My love's meteoric,merely historic
A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels
It rocks my whole solar plexus
It's bigger than Texas
I just can't tell you how it feels
I only know there once was a woman
Who loved a man
Loved him enough to cause the Trojan War
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me,I love you more! more! more! more!

More than a hangman loves his rope
More than a dopefiend loves his dope
More than an Injun loves his scalps
More than a yodeler loves his alps
More More More more more!

(There once was a man),there once was a woman
(Who loved a woman),who loved a man
She was the one he slew the dragon for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
But me, I love you more!
But me! I love you more!
