Verse              You’re standing here before me and it’s not quite fair

                        You offer me a fistful of your four-leaf clovers

                        Even though I searched around you everywhere

                        Two more jump into your hands when you bend over

Chorus            I don’t want your stinking four-leaf clovers

                        I want to find them on my own

                        I want to be a four-leaf clover

                        Then I won’t feel so alone

Verse              Even though I act as if I just don’t care

                        Years have passed and I have found no four-leaf clover

                        Then I glance beside my shoe and see it there

                        I squeal and then announce at last my search is over

Chorus            I don’t want your stinking four-leaf clovers

                        I want to find them on my own

                        I want to be a four-leaf clover

                        Then I won’t feel so alone

Bridge            You draw near and cheer me

                        And call my find sublime

                        “Now you know how they look

                        You can find them all the time”

Verse              Your strange prophetic words left me in deep despair

                        Cause I was left alone to search for four-leaf clovers

                        Even though you left a framed one as a spare

                        I’d rather have you here to find my four-leaf clovers

Chorus            Yes I want your four-leaf clovers

                        I won’t find them on my own

                        I want to be a four-leaf clover

                        Then I won’t feel so alone

Chorus            Yes I want your four-leaf clovers

                        I won’t find them on my own

                        I want to be a four-leaf clover

                        Then I won’t feel so alone

Outro              You draw near and cheer me
