Well tell me truly, love is not a toy,
Something to play with, girl against boy.
A game to bet on, lose or win,
Throw the dice, is that how you begin?
Love can make you do some really horrible things
Love can make you do some really, truly, awful, horrible things.
Sterile reflection, a mirror on the shelf
Your perfect partner can never be yourself.
Narcissus tried it, others too
Drowning in self-love, such a strange thing to do…
But…
Love can make you do some really horrible things
Love can make you do some really, truly, awful, horrible things.
As with a magnet, like poles push apart
Opposites attract, it’s the same with the heart.
Look for a mate, a compatible soul
It’s in our differences we make each other whole.
But…
Love can make you do some really horrible things
Love can make you do some really, truly, strangely awful, laughably stupid, foolishly horrible things!
