Giving Up On Love Today 11/25/08 Song #389
D G G7
I’m officially resigning from the act of pining
D D7
Emotional strip mining
G A D
I’m giving up on love today
I’m tired of the drama and the ensuing trauma
Though I voted for Obama
I’m giving up on love today.
Bm F#
Love is just a word for something that’s absurd
G D A
It seems like it’s a bird but turns out mostly turd
Bm F#
I hereby give my notice that love is mostly bogus
G D A
And so I’ll shift my focus far from it’s hocus pocus
Every time I start feel it. I know I’ll have to heal it
So go ahead and steal it
I’m giving up on love today.
Love is so damn stupid, I feel just like the new kid
On the first day of school wandering like a fool
Head stuck in the clouds oblivious to doubts
Prone to sudden bouts of…being stupid…
I don’t like roller coasters, I’d rather shop for toasters
A puppy or a poster
I’m giving up on love today…
Love is manufactured by a bunch of actors
As the chick flick credits roll away
I need a little sanity, instead of this profanity
I’m giving up on love today
Repeat first two stanzas…

Commentary: Yes this song IS the result of on line dating. Do you have any great online dating horror stories? If so please share in the comments section below. If you want you can even change the names to protect the “innocent”…or not )
Also, I found a great blog site Queen of Relationships she writes about dating and relationships from a woman’s perspective but as a guy I really enjoy her humor and the chance to “get inside” a woman’s head to better understand…(okay understanding is kind of hopeless but a guy can try can’t he?”
Also if you want to check out some of my less cynical love songs just go up to the categories list in the left hand sidebar and click on Love Songs. It should bring up all the Love Songs I’ve posted so far…
Plenty more in the archives to follow as well.
Thanks for listening and please feel free to share with your friends and exes!
