Love

Love.

What a fucking brilliant scam

That robbed this girl of all that I am

The world took a boy and called him a man

Placed him in the palm of my hand

Poor thing, he couldn't quite understand

That love

Is a loyal thing that he ought to share

You see his father never taught him to care

A working man who's hardly there

So why should he dare

Break the cycle that's been spinning the Earth

Ever since before the day of his birth

After all, the cycle worked for them, so why not us?

He said, "It worked for them, so why not us?"

Because love

Is not the only reason to live

It's not the only thing we can give

Each other

I'm not my mother

You're not your father

Why should we bother

With love?
