Dora (parts I and II)
I’m afraid to say that she is in control of me
For everything she does is all I ever see
All the little movements of her pretty dark brown eyes
Dressed from head to foot in black and five foot four in size
I want to love her, ’cause I’ve got her in my head
I want to sing to her and carry her to bed
I want to hold her tight and never let her go
Her name is Dora and my dream she’ll never know
She is just a girl who taunts me with her honeyed hair
A mild Gothic brunette at the focus of my stare
I see her stuff her face with honey each minute of each day
But never find the words in my head I want to say
I want to love her, ’cause I’ve got her in my head
I want to sing to her and carry her to bed
I want to hold her tight and never let her go
Her name is Dora and my dream she’ll never know
She spins me around, I’m dizzy
She doesn’t know, she isn’t real
She makes me high, she makes me free
Is she alone? Is she the real deal?
Oh, why can’t I tell her just how I’m perceiving?
Can’t she be more than a sentimental feeling?
Why does she have to be only a role?
A persona, a fiction, a girl with no soul
I want to love her, ’cause I’ve got her in my head
I want to sing to her and carry her to bed
I want to hold her tight and never let her go
Her name is Dora and my dream she’ll never know
This is for Dora, that grunge girl in my head
This is a song about things that go unsaid
It’s a song about all my love for her
About my heart in which she’s caused quite a stir
This is for Dora! This is for Dora!
Dora, I’m in love with you
Dora, maybe some day I’ll know what I’m to do
I couldn’t care if you were sorely lacking money
And I don’t care that you’re addicted to honey
I love your passion for art and literature
I love you ’cause you’re pretty as a picture
This is for Dora! This is for Dora!
Dora, I’m in love with you
Dora, maybe some day I’ll know what I’m to do
I want to love her, ’cause I’ve got her in my head
I want to sing to her and carry her to bed
I want to hold her tight and never let her go
This is for Dora and my dream she’ll never know
It confuses a lot of people when they discover that
I am platonically besotted with a fictional character
