lyrics

You see I got this problem with a little thing called Love,
I tried talking to all my friends and even God above.
But none of them don't seem to care when they find out what's wrong,
the problem is I just can't stop, writing crap love songs...

You got verse one, you're telling how it begun,
some girl, you're thinking 'she's the one'.
So you're thinking about her all day,
and you just can't find a way,
to tell her 'how you really feel', she probably thinks you're gay...

You see I got this problem with a little thing called Love,
I tried talking to all my friends and even God above.
But none of them don't seem to care when they find out what's wrong,
the problem is I just can't stop, writing crap love songs...

Then you got verse two, now you're trying to be true,
couple of bad metaphors, you're onto something new.
It's a winner every time, to come up with a line,
that utilises eighteen words when three would have done just fine...

You see I got this problem with a little thing called Love,
I tried talking to all my friends and even God above.
But none of them don't seem to care when they find out what's wrong,
the problem is I just can't stop, writing crap love songs...

And then you've got the middle eight...
It's rarely just eight and it's often late...
You'll find that it's never worth the wait...
...Might as well reach down and..... celebrate....

By this time the strings are in and nothing's been left unsaid,
I've opened up my heart, I've left my dignity for dead,
I've told a lot of secrets, I've told a lot of lies,
what more can I possibly say about her fucking eyes?

You see I got this problem with a little thing called Love,
I tried talking to all my friends and even God above.
But none of them don't seem to care when they find out what's wrong,
the problem is I just can't stop....
