about

I was just being playful with this one. It's not about me or anyone I know.

I got the idea to use "butterfly" after hearing Andy Williams sing the song Butterfly including the line "You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true
Then you fly around with somebody new."

I wouldn't normally use a big word like "superlative" in a lyric but in this case the word is the joke.

lyrics

When you’re angry, though you’re special,
Your words are inconsequential
Because we both butterfly each passerby.

Self reflection is essential.
Is your crisis existential?
When you swear, I see love
I see love in your eyes.
I don’t care
I don’t care if you’re with other guys

So seductive
Not vindictive
Hurling superlatives at some puppies.
I tell tall tales
You're my tattletale.

I don’t know what I am.
I don’t know what you are.
I don’t know who I’ve gotten myself into,
But I like it!

When you stare
I see love
I see love in your eyes
I don’t care
I don’t care if you're with other guys.

When you swear
I see love
I see love in your eyes
I don’t care
I don’t care if you're with other guy.s

Darling I could swear
I see love
I see love in your eyes
I don’t care
I don’t care if you're with other guys.
