Barenaked Ladies - Life, in a Nutshell Lyrics

When she was three
Her Barbies always did it on the first date
And now she's with me
So there's never any need for them to demonstrate

'Cause she's like a baby, I'm like a cat
When we are happy, we both get fat
And still it's never enough, it's never enough
No, it's never enough

So I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she

Her life in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
It's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me, for me

She memorized
Every pencil crayon color in the box
Her blue-green eyes
Complement the burnt sienna in her locks

She's at the movies, I'm on the phone
And when we're separated, we're never alone
But still it's never enough, it's never enough
No, it's never enough

So I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she

Her life in a nutshell
And no way would she want it to change me
It's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me, for me

Well, I fell down with no one there to catch me from falling
Then she came 'round
And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out
I'm okay and that's why

Her life in a nutshell
No way would she ever want it to change me
It's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me

And I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
