V1
I wrote my heart on an envelope
I lost my words and I kind of choked
So I scrunched it
Now it’s a ball
CHORUS
Brown paper ball
That you slam to the wall
Asking one question
‘Do you love me?’
V2
I told my heart it’s time to forgot about you
I said these words out loud so that my heart can’t refuse
But it refused
And started pumping some more
CHORUS
Heart’s pumping some more
Cause of this brown paper ball
Asking one question
‘Do you love me?’
MIDDLE 8
I… really wanna love you more
If only you’d open up and invite me in
V3
I’ll tell your heart don’t play with envelopes
They’ll mix your words and they’ll go for broke
So just scrunch it
Make it a ball
V4
And tell your heart there’s plenty more fish in the sea
But I am tired of fishing, I just want your
Good old fashioned company cause
We could be so good together
V5
Tell me something, tell me something
How do you sleep so peacefully?
When my mind is full of thoughts
‘Do you love me?’
CHORUS
Brown paper ball
That you slam to the wall
Asking one question
‘Do you love me?’
CHORUS
Heart’s pumping some more
Cause of this brown paper ball
Asking one question
‘Do you love me?’
