Mocking Songs: Follow Me by John Denver

You guys, I've long wanted to do this but pushed it aside because I felt I didn't have the energy or the time. But I've found the perfect song to start this series with, a song that I never knew existed till a few minutes ago and which mysteriously found it's way into my favorites on Gaana (Guy, I'm blaming you).

If you hadn't heard John Denver's Follow Me either, uncover your ears and let them drown in this.




(Actual lyrics below copied from lyricsfreak.com, because I'm not gonna type that out.) (Also, I'm totally channeling Mallory Ortberg.)
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

I feel for you, dude
But look on the bright side
At least you're alone
While I try so hard to be...
And here you are


Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me

Of course my lord and master I am your slave
hahahahahahaha


Follow me up and down all the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

snrk


It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long, long time

Are you sure 
It doesn't seem so long
Maybe wait till it's longer
Much, much longer


I've tried to find the way that I can make you understand

Not hard enough tho


The way I feel about you and just how much I need you

Cool story, bro


To be there where I can talk to you

You're not going to play music are you?


When there's no one else around

What what do you mean? You're not going to kidnap me? I told my sister where I was going she'll call the police if I'm not home in an hour


Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way and all around

I don't have time to go up and down I've got things to do Johnny, now get out of my way


Take my hand and say you'll follow me

If I do will you go away and write another song and not come back again till it's done? Actually, make a whole album. I like your songs so much I want a whole album.


You see I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen

ew gross


Places that I'm going to places where I've been

Johnny it's okay, no one cares how many



To have you there beside me and never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
We will be at home

I like going out tho so why don't you stay home and I'll go meet my friends


Follow me where I go what I do and who I know

you don't know that many people Johnny


Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way

ew what


Take my hand and say you'll follow me

okay there's my bus bye
