Lyrics Jonathan Coulton

Jonathan Coulton

Just As Long As Me

It's a sad and awful story and the shorter folks don't care

I'm a man who's simply way too big to love

Picture her a tiny thing with tiny ribbons in her hair

Picture me a monster towering above

I don't care what color hair is growing on her head

She doesn't have to be a sight to see

It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed

Just as long as she is just as long as me

Took an ad out in the paper with my picture and some prose

It said tall and lonely lover seeking same

Combed my hair and got a shave and bought a long stemmed thornless rose

When my picture ran my head was out of frame

I don't care what color hair is growing on her head

She doesn't have to be a sight to see

It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed

Just as long as she is just as long as me

Every night I have a dream I'm on a mountain in the sky

And the air gets ever thinner as I climb

Then I see the gates of heaven, someone there has caught my eye

She is very tall and finally she is mine

I don't care what color hair is growing on her head

She doesn't have to be a sight to see

It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed

Just as long as she is just as long as me

Just as long as she is just as long as me
