Love

Love is splendorous, wonderful, great
When you're in love and your heart is awake
But listen up folks 'cause there's more to explain
In actual fact love sets you up for great pain

Day to day twilling and swilling about
So happy to be deep in love you've no doubts
With love in your heart you've no need to be tense
But that's only 'cause you have lost all your sense

The reality is (I am sorry to say)
That love is a headache that won't go away
You have someone special that's terrible grand
But is that all you've got? If so beware where you land

Love is the greatest illusion of all
It's just at heights its a long way to fall
So rather than dreaming and casting long sighs
You're better off looking love straight in the eye

What is it about him that makes him so great?
What is it about her that you would relate
To folks who don't know her or don't understand
What is it that makes him the man of all man?

If love is AMAZING if that's how you feel
Then I need to tell you something to keep you on keel
It's nice that you feel so astoundingly blessed
But to live a good life there's a lot to address

Love is not simply sweetness - its work everyday
A toil and roil with no time to play
Do not fall into love and then be so naive
That the flaws of your partner you never believe

You dream of the two of your floating away
Happy ever after for everyday
You can do it it is possible but better beware
By the end of the month floors are black fridge is bare

The bed sheets will smell like somebody has died
And the towels will remind you of small children who cried
The living room furniture twas once your pride
Is looking so sad, totally cast aside

There's no "happily ever after" I'm sorry to say
Cause even in love you've still got to go day to day
Love can be special an amazing thrill
And you dream it your head that its part of God's will
But when its all over the emotions it will instill
- especially in divorce court when you get the bill
... I'm sorry today that I've been a big buzz kill!

But now that you know of the fate that's in store
Now you're aware that some days you'll abhor
Now you've abandoned the happiness dream
Your love might be better than you've ever dreamed
... Life is a paradox, or so it would seem
