From Now On

Water the plants, feed the cat

Leave that door key under the mat

I'm your number one from now on

Set the code, close the door

You don't live there anymore

I'm your number one from now on

Nothing grows so quickly as the vine

That wraps you up so tight and says 'You're mine'

No time so exciting as the time

You pour away that bottle containing last night's wine

Last night's wine, last night's wine

What you're taking part in is the cleverest of crimes

Last night's wine, just a flickering sign

But a necessary sin from time to time

Fold your dress, leave your hair

Put on your jeans, you ain't goin' nowhere

I'm your number one from now on

Cancel the milk, unplug the phone

Close the blinds, you ain't gonna be home

I'm your number one from now on

No time quite so easy as the night

To hold her far too close or far too tight

No catch quite so keen, so quick to bite

Than the one that thinks love's possible first or second sight

Love at first sight, love at first sight

Swinging from the chandelier, it's a one way ticket flight

Love at first sight, so wrong it's right

Swing you by your pigtails, set your world alight

Nothing hooks you quicker than the line

Thrown straight and from the bank into your spine

For family and for friends you'll surely pine

But sentiment and nostalgia, they just ain't worth a dime

What worth's a dime? What worth's a dime?

You can leave those financial worries well behind

What worth's a dime? What worth's a dime?

I don't want that bank manager on your pretty little mind

Now that you're mine
