Shallow Hal (soundtrack)

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather'd done it with you

Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love

In Chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do

Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth

And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say

Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place

When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face

I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words

Like a gypsy
You dance in cicles
All around me
All over the world

So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again
