There Once Was a Man

Lyrics

There once was a man who loved a woman
 She was the one he slew a dragon for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
 But me, I love you more
 And there once was a man who loved a woman
 She was the one he gave his kingdom for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
 But me, I love you more
 My love is a giant, fierce and defiant
 But how can I prove it to you
 Ain't got no kingdom, no dragon
 To back up my braggin'
 How can I show what I would do
 I only know there once was a man
 Who loved a woman
 She was the one he ate that apple for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as he
 But me, I love you more
 There once was a woman who loved a man
 He was the one that she took poison for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
 But me, I love you more
 And there once was a woman who loved a man
 He was the one she swam the channel for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
 But me, I love you more
 My love's meteoric, it's merely historic
 A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels
 It rocks the whole solar plexus
 It's bigger than Texas
 I just can't tell you how it feels
 I only know there once was a woman
 Who loved a man
 Loved him enough to cause the Trojan war
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as she
 But me, I love you more, more, more, more
 More than a hangman loves his rope
 More than a dopefiend loves his dope
 More than an Injun loves his scalps
 More than a yodeler loves his alps
 More, more, more, more, more
 There once was a man
 There once was a woman
 who loved a woman
 who loved a man
 She was the one he slew the dragon for
 He was the one that she took poison for
 They say that nobody ever loved as much as he she
 But me, I love you more
 But me, I love you more
