There was a love affair in this building
The kind of love affair, Which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way
Or have you heard
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer And mothers prefer doctors and lawyers
Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking
And you'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe vera plants by the window
Healthy teeth in his mouth
Healthy hair on his head
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
The kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers
The kind of love affair, Which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way
Or have you heard
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer And mothers prefer doctors and lawyers
Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking
And you'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe vera plants by the window
Healthy teeth in his mouth
Healthy hair on his head
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
The kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers

Despite this imperfection, he was clean and respectable looking. You'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man.
So, he grew healthy aloe vera plans on the window, healthy teeth in his mouth, healthy hair on his head.
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head, the kind that immature old women go for with their sticky, stealing fingers.
Despite the fact that the mother disapproved of the daughter dating him, she saw in him what the daughter saw: a respectable man.... And she took him for herself.
so right now i'm caught between two guys deciding which to make it official with
one is.... pre-med... the other an engineering major
this song just popped up on my ipod and i fell on the floor laughing.
my life is now a regina spektor song.
This song has kinda a sneaky sound about it, like someone is whispering the latest gossip. Fun little song.
I freakin love EVERY song of that woman..... :))
The kind of love affair, Which every respectable building must keep as a legend "
Amazing...as usual for Regina.
I like to think that this song is about a married woman who has an affair with an engineer or someone who comes and fixes things in the building. They eventually have a baby and I reckon her husband knows it's not his.
Which made me laugh because dude, the thing about gossip is that it IS catchy. This song pretty much embodies gossip in every single way. :D
This song is a bit of my fantasy XP
