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… Copyright 2008-2009 by Mark Shepard, All commercial rights reserved.

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.

From the "Ocean of Dreams" CD I Want To Soak You In (#379) January 2008 I want to be the puppy That follows you home I want to be your own personal Garden gnome You be the ice cream I’ll be the cone I want to soak you in… I want to be your quicker picker Upper paper towel I want to be the alley Where the tom cats yowl You be the consonants and I’ll be the vowels I want to soak you in… Refrain: I want to soak you in I want to breathe you in like oxygen I want to open my pores and Absorb you through my skin… I want to dip my bread In your gravy baby I want to drown a little bit So you can save me I want to be a piece of pie So you will crave me I want to soak you in I want to be the pickle in your brine I want to be the filthy Thought that just crossed your mind Baby you’re the proof Of intelligent design I want to soak you in… Refrain: I want to lap you up Like homemade soup I want to be the main rooster In your chicken coop You’re the song in my head On an endless loop I want to soak you in I want to be the tub Where you take bubble baths I want to be the muscles That you use to laugh You’re the first one that I think of When it’s time for a nap I want to soak you in Refrain: I want to be the joke That you just told me I want to be the avocado In your holy guacamole Write up the order cause You already sold me I want to soak you in… I want to rent a little villa in Tuscany Where we can bask In each other’s company Wake up to the song Of the birds and the bees… I want to soak you in Commentary: Love is supposed to be FUN! enough said eh? ) Please share this song with other open minded, passionate, sensual, intelligent People!
