Jenny Lewis - Dogwood Lyrics






The dogwood's in bloom
Take off your shoes
You cannot choose your family, oh
There's nothing we can do
But screw
And booze and amphetamines, oh

In the springtime, in the house
I was determined to work it out
Oh, in the springtime, in the house
The neighbors heard us scream and shout

And somewhere a screw got loose along the way
And your manners have gone away
And I believe that there will come a day
I believe that you will chase me away

So they can't prove
Love is not enough for you
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I fell in love with you

In the springtime, in the house
I was determined to work it out
Oh, in the springtime, in the house
I never told you I had my doubts

And somewhere a screw got loose along the way
And our manners have gone away
And I believe that there will come a day
I believe that you will chase me away

So that you can prove
Love is not enough for you
You thought I was your muse
But all along it was you

And the dogwood's in bloom
There's nothing we can do
But screw, oh

    I was determined to work it out so badly I stayed 5 months even after he told me he didn't love me it still breaks my heart what he did wen I finally left....

  2. F.... P....

    Always the same Eric Satie "Gymnopodies". At least Jenny Lewis should add after the title "inspired by ..."

  3. I.... E....

    Very reminiscent of Acid Tongue

  4. b.... ....

    This album is just FULL of little surprises, isn't it?

  5. G.... B....

    Hi Jenny It's Gordon Blackwell. We went to Van Nuys Jr. High together. Loving your music. We should collab sometime. I produce tracks.

  6. H.... L....

    "On The Line" is easily one of the best albums of 2019.

  7. b.... ....

    The production/mix is just too good.

  8. B.... R....

    "In the springtime
    In a little house
    I was determined
    To work it out".
    Represents my 20's perfectly. Loved this song from the first note.

  9. G.... ....

    so beautiful

  10. i.... ....

    You're probably trapped in the same conundrum as i... Is Jenny Lewis SEXY or ADORABLE?

    i.... ....

    adorably sexy!

  11. N.... C....

    She has caught me off guard! I am officially #teamjennylewis

  12. T.... D....

    The dogwoods in bloom
    take off your shoes
    you cannot choose your family, oh
    there's nothing we can do
    but, screw and booze and amphetamines, oh

    in the springtime in a little house
    I was determined to work it out oh,
    in the springtime in a little house
    the neighbors heard us scream and shout
    somewhere a screw got loose along the way
    and your manners have gone away
    and i believe that there will come a day
    i believe that you will chase me away
    so that you can prove love is not enough for you
    there's nothing i can do
    'cause i fell in love with you
     
    in the springtime in a little house
    I was determined to work it out oh,
    in the springtime in a little house
    i never told you i had my doubts
    somewhere a screw got loose along the way
    and our manners have gone away
    and i believe that there will come a day
    i believe that you will chase me away
    so that you can prove love is not enough for you
    you thought i was your muse
    but all along it was you
    and the dogwoods in bloom
    there's nothing we can do but screw, oh

    This beautiful song reminds me of the late, great Laura Nyro at her songwriting and vocal peak.

  14. C.... D....

    The more I listen to this song the more I love it. And, I can't stop listening to it. Resurfaces thoughts and emotions of, and helps put voice to my failed marriage through music. Such bittersweet thoughts. And that was back in the year 2000! Now THAT is the power of music. Art that evokes strong emotion is the most potent, even though it breaks your heart all over again...
    So beautiful.
    Thank you, Ms. Lewis.

  15. S.... L....

    Damn. Such low viewership. I hate that.

  16. M.... A....

    Jenny a Slam Dunk! I love the new album and this song just slays me. <3

  17. l.... #....

    I like the screwing part....

  18. J.... R....

    Reminds me of a Carpenters song. Simply stunning.

    J.... R....

    Jenny does sound a bit like Karen Carpenter

  19. S.... D....
