lyrics
OCD sweetheart, you organize my life
OCD sweetheart, I no longer have the time for strife
OCD sweetheart, you don't give me any grief, but...
My OCD sweetheart, I could use some relief
She checks the locks five times each all around the house
She can't wear a pair of shoes if they don't match her blouse
She uses a hundred napkins every time we eat
She wipes down the table and the silverware and the seat
OCD sweetheart, you organize my life
OCD sweetheart, I no longer have the time for strife
OCD sweetheart, you don't give me any grief, but...
My OCD sweetheart, I could use some relief
She only lets me kiss her in multiples of ten
But I haven't loved someone this much since I don't know when
She needs to know what I'm doing every minute of the day
She loves me, loves me, loves me in the most compulsive way
She's obsessed with me like I'm junk and she's a hoarder
When we go to bed at night she really puts my things in order
OCD sweetheart, you organize my life
OCD sweetheart, I no longer have the time for strife
OCD sweetheart, you don't give me any grief, but...
My OCD sweetheart, I could use some relief
