Girl falls in love with un-hip guy after he makes a life-size cut-out of himself into a valentine card for her

Lyrics

Six-Foot Valentine

Yeh, he's an old-fashioned boy
He wears his pants too tight
He doesn't know about hip
He doesn't do everything right
But I knew he and I would do fine
When he said be mine, all mine
In a six-foot valentine

I told him I was cuttin' back
On chocolate and stuff like that
He wanted to give me something
Something sweet but not fat
Something that was not such a crime
So he put his love line for line
In a six-foot valentine

He cut out an outline of himself
Painted the cardboard, let it dry on a shelf
It was big but not as big as his heart
What a surprise it was, it was a work of art
He had my heart, now he had my mind
Ooh what he did to me when he signed
My six-foot valentine

Sometimes he shakes when we're kissin'
I got to hold him tight
And when I need to let go
He holds me withn his eyes
I found heaven in his embrace
In every word and every space
Of my six-foot valentine

He cut out an outline of himself
Painted the cardboard, let it dry on a shelf
And it was big but not as big as his heart
What a surprise it was, it was a work of art
He had my heart now he had my mind
Ooh what he did to me when he signed
My six-foot valentine

He knows all my secret things
'Bout when I'm lost and found
And when I got to get crazy
He's the one I want around
So I knew he and I would do fine
When he said be mine all mine
In a six-foot valentine

Yeah, I knew he and I would do fine
When he said be mine all mine
In a six-foot valentine
