The heart of a wife
|
but she won't unlock it
|
all dressed in white
|
and face in the blankets
|
|
The nights with the boys
|
the RINGS IN THEIR pockets
|
the drives to work that don't ever drive BACK
|
|
It's a four letter word
|
and who'd ever thought that
|
a four letter word
|
would be so hard to spell out
|
and our hearts skippin' beats
|
on edges of seats
|
we'll take time when it's up
|
but give up when it's down
|
|
Freakin' out about love
|
'bout love
|
about love
|
'bout love, no
|
not love
|
but love
|
about love
|
'bout love, no
|
|
We're too cool for apologies
|
and we wouldn't have fell
|
our emotional policies
|
and lookin' glass selves
|
it's a realization that we all need to find
|
it's all in our heads when we're changing our minds
|
|
About love
|
love
|
about love
|
'bout love
|
'cause it's not love
|
love
|
about love
|
'bout love, no
|
|
Or if we're not gonna mind
|
what's lost in our chest
|
then I'll spend all my time dodging yours I guess
|
'cause the life you're denying me is a hole in my heart
|
and advice and society pull us apart
|
|
And at the blink of an eye
|
we'll get the courts involved
|
and if you don't like her eyes you just get 'em annulled
|
'cause the justice of the peace
|
losing its power
|
honeymoon suites to hotels by the hour
|
|
We take time when it's up
|
but give up when it's down
|
|
And it's not love
|
love
|
not love
|
it's not love
|
not love
|
love
|
not love
|
not love
|
no no
|
not love, oh
|
love
|
love
|
not love
|
cuz it's not love
|
love
|
not love
|
it's not love, no
|
it's not love
|
love
|
it's not love
|
not love, no
|
it's not love
|
love
|
not love
|
not love
|
|
