Its Raining In Love

I don't know what it is,  but I distrust myself  when I start to like a girl  a lot.  It makes me nervous.  I don't say the right things  or perhaps I start  to examine,  evaluate, compute  what I am saying.  If I say, "Do you think it's going to rain?"  and she says, "I don't know,"  I start thinking :

Does she really like me?  In other words  I get a little creepy.  A friend of mine once said,  "It's twenty times better to be friends  with someone  than it is to be in love with them."  I think he's right and besides,  it's raining somewhere, programming flowers  and keeping snails happy.  That's all taken care of.

UT  if a girl likes me a lot  and starts getting real nervous  and suddenly begins asking me funny questions  and looks sad if I give the wrong answers  and she says things like,  "Do you think it's going to rain?"  and I say, "It beats me,"  and she says, "Oh,"  and looks a little sad  at the clear blue California sky,  I think :

Thank God, it's you, baby, this time  instead of me.
