Work Text:
Ron isn’t just in love with Leslie, he needs her.
What would I do without your smart mouth
He believes firmly in people needing to be independent, and acts as though he is the most independent man in the world, but really he relies on her like he relies on air. He can’t tell her this of course, she would never love him back.
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Everything she does is remarkable. He’s just her annoying boss who gets in her way. She’s too good for him.
You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
He wonders how she does it, how she puts up with everything, how she stays positive, how she does all the amazing things she does.
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
She’s the exact opposite of him, but that doesn’t matter, because whatever ridiculous project to try and fix this dumb town she’s working on, he’ll always be right there.
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright
Leslie was everything to him, he would do anything for her. He would drown himself if it would make her smile. And just looking at that smile would block away all the pain.
My heads underwater
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind
Of course, all of these thoughts were the ones he had before that day when she walked up and kissed him.
‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
Seeing her cry is one of the many things he hates, but even when she’s sobbing her head off she’s still the most beautiful woman in the world.
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
Sometimes he feels like everyone around her wants her to fail. But anyone who tries to stop Leslie Knope is going to be having a serious and violent conversation with Ron.
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood
He’s never really known love. His dad wasn’t around much and his mom was all tough love. Both of his ex wives are demons, and the other women he’s dated didn’t stay for long. Leslie’s different though. Leslie’s the most amazing person he’s ever met, and he will never stop loving her.
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
