about

recorded in 1988 I wrote this for a friend of a friend called Lou Ann that I was infatuated with. I never even knew her last name, but I like the song

lyrics

I heard you said something nice about me
I thought I'd return the favor for free
I know you don't know me too well
But I give you a piece of me

Don't be afraid if I say you're beautiful
Don't be afraid if I say my mind is full
Of wonderful helpless thoughts about you

I send you this birthday letter
With no strings attached
I give you this musical poem
No strings no strings

So many people give expecting to get
So many people seem to forget
That the only reason to give
Is because you care

I give you this birthday letter
With no strings attached
I give you this musical poem
No strings no strings

I sing this song not to win your heart
I sing this song because it's a part
Of my soul I'm giving you
It'll last forever

I send you this birthday letter
With no strings attached
I give you this musical poem
With no strings attached
I send you this birthday letter
With no strings attached
I give you this musical poem
No strings no strings no strings
