D                                       A
Springtime, I'm out here in your morning breezes
D                      A       G
And I smell such nectar in your air
G                            A
But right now the nectar only teases,
G                            A
Cause springtime should be to share
D               A
So bold are you, blue sky
D                    A
And so alive are you, air
G                A
Bold and alive am I
G                                   A
But I'm teased now by such a need to share
                 D
But I want you to tease me
             A
I want you to tease me
          G                         A
Because it has my heart throbbing so hard and free
         D           A
And tease more, tease more
          G                             A
Because my heart understands what it was put here for
            G                             A
My heart was put here to feel this kind of teasing
            G                   A
My heart was put here to need to share
      G                      A
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze,
   G                      A
I'm glad I'm teased by the trees,
   G                       A       D
I'm glad I'm teased by this need to share


                            A          D
Well, you've got bridges and rivers and tunnels too
    D                                A
Look here, springtime, I admit that I sure need you
             D             A           D        A
But can't you feel my heart pounding so hard and free?
  G                    A
It works both ways now, you need me
      D               A              D
I'm so loving', I'm so lovin', I'm so lovin', you must feel my heart
A              D
Skipping and a-throbbin'
                     A                 D
I am so alive now, so alive now, I'm so lovin',
           G       A                       D
I love each animule out here kissin' and a-huggin'
                   A         D
I feel so alive, so alive, so alive,
           G          A            D
I feel each bee comin' out of their hive
D               A         D
I'm so alive, so alive, so lovin'
              G                                 A
The world must feel my heart poundin' cause it's throbbin' and it's
                  D
Throbbin' and it's throbbin'

I said, springtime morning breezes
                  A       G
You got the nectar in your air
                             A
But right now the nectar just teases
      G                         A
'Cause springtime is put here to share
D                   A
And so bold are you, blue sky
D                A
So alive are you, air
G                A
Bold and alive am I
G                            A
But I'm teased by the need to share
         D                               A
So please tease me, though, I want you to tease me
             G                        A
You know, you got my heart throbbing so hard, so free
     D           A
Tease more, tease more
  G                           A
My heart will know what it was put here for
G                   A
Put here to feel thy teasing
G                               A
My heart was put here to have to share
      G                      A
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze
       G                        A
And I'm glad to be teased by the trees
        G                         A       D
I'm even glad to be teased by this need to share

Springtime, I'm out here in your morning breezes
And I smell such nectar in your air
But right now the nectar only teases,
Cause springtime should be to share
So bold are you, blue sky
And so alive are you, air
Bold and alive am I
But I'm teased now by such a need to share
But I want you to tease me

Because it has my heart throbbing so hard and free
And tease more, tease more
Because my heart understands what it was put here for
My heart was put here to feel this kind of teasing
My heart was put here to need to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze,
I'm glad I'm teased by the trees,
I'm glad I'm teased by this need to share

Well, you've got bridges and rivers and tunnels too
Look here, springtime, I admit that I sure need you
But can't you feel my heart pounding so hard and free?
It works both ways now, you need me

I'm so alive, so alive, so lovin'
The world must feel my heart poundin' cause it's throbbin' and it's

And so bold are you, blue sky
So alive are you, air
Bold and alive am I
But I'm teased by the need to share
So please tease me, though, I want you to tease me
You know, you got my heart throbbin so hard, so free
Tease more, tease more
My heart will know what it was put here for
Put here to feel thy teasing
My heart was put here to have to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze
And I'm glad to be teased by the trees
I'm even glad to be teased by this need to share

Lyrics

Ok Springtime, I'm out here in your morning breezes
And you got the nectar in your air
But the nectar only teases,
Cause springtime is here to share
So bold are you blue sky
And so alive are you air
But bold and alive am I
But right now I'm teased by this need to share
I want you to tease me
Please tease me
Because it has my heart throbbing so hard and free
And tease more, tease more
At least my heart will know what it was put here for
My heart was put here to feel this teasing
My heart was put here to have to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze,
And I'm glad I'm teased by the trees,
And I'm glad I'm teased by this need I have to share

You've got bridges and rivers and tunnels too
Well, springtime, I know that I need you
But can't you feel my heart singing so loud so free?
Springtime springtime, you need me
I'm so loving', I'm so lovin', I'm so lovin',
Now don't feel my heart skipping and a-throbbin'
I am so alive, I'm so alive, I'm so lovin',
I love the animules out here kissin' and a-huggin'
I felt so alive, so alive, so alive,
I felt each bee comin' out of their hive
I've been alive, so alive, and so lovin'
The world must feel my heart because it's poundin' and it's throbbin' and it's throbbin'

Springtime morning breezes
You got the nectar in your air
But the nectar teases
Springtime is here to share
So bold is this blue sky
So alive is the air
But bold and alive am I
I've been teased by the need to share
But please tease me, please tease me
It has my heart throbbing so free
Tease more, tease more
My heart it knows what it was put here for
My heart was put here to feel your teasing
My heart was put here to have to share
So I'm glad I'm teased by the breeze
And I'm glad I'm teased by the trees
And I'm glad I'm teased by this need to share

Lyrics

Springtime, I'm out here in your morning breezes
And you got the ??? nectar in your air
But to me the nectar only teases, (why is that?)
Because springtime is put here to share (that's what's wrong)
So bold are you, blue sky
And so alive are you, air (this is ok)
Bold and alive am I
But I'm just teased by this need I have to share
But I want you to tease me
I want you to tease me
Because ??? my heart is throbbing so loud and so free
And tease me more, (that's all right) tease Jonathan more
Because my heart knows what it was put here for
And my heart was put here to feel thy teasing
My heart was put here to need to share
So here I am glad to be teased by the breeze,
And I'm glad to be teased by the trees,
And I'm just glad to be teased by this need I have to share

Now you've got bridges, you got rivers and tunnels too
Well look, springtime, I admit that Jonathan needs you
But you can't go feel my heart cause it's throbbing so loud and so free?
Now this works two ways because you need me
I'm so loving', I'm so lovin', I'm so lovin', well you must feel my heart right here
Skipping and a-throbbin'
Now I am so alive now, I'm so alive, I'm so lovin',
I love every animule I see out here kissin' and a-huggin'
I feel so alive, so alive, so alive,
I feel each bee comin' out of their hive
I'm so alive, so alive, so lovin'
I know you feel my heart cause it's throbbin' and it's
Throbbin' and it's throbbin'

Springtime morning breezes
You got the nectar in your air
But to me the nectar only teases
Because springtime is something to share
So bold are you, blue sky
And so alive are you, air
Bold and alive am I you see
I'm teased by this need to share
But please tease me, I want the spring to tease me
Because it's got my heart skipping so loud and free
And I want the spring to tease me more, I want the spring to tease me more
Because my heart remembers what it was put here for
And my heart was put here to feel thy teasing
My heart was put here to have to share
So here I am glad I'm teased by the breeze
And here I am even glad to be teased by the trees
And here I am even glad to be teased by such a need, a need to share
