Cliched Hooks About Paradoxical LoveA Poem by Dennis Shanabergjust a quick little song about love and its complexities
It's a paradox;
It's modern love- This love-hate relationship. I love to hate you; I hate your love, But it's all that I can get. Oh-this paradox- This makes no sense, Like Patrick Dempsey in a party dress. So, say, Hey Hey-ey... I've got something to say- Say-ay... Oh yeah-I got something to say To you baby. Hey there, mourning dove, I need your love, And the tears that you imbue. Got stars in yours eyes That your cries deny, But there's nothing I can do. I can't do this now. You're on your own. The past is past, and all is through. So, say, Hey Hey-ey... I've got something to say- Say-ay... Oh yeah-I got something to say To you baby. In that, I'd race over states to save face, But over continents if you needed me. I would raze the world to save the girl, But, baby, you can't be the girl for me. You've got my heart, my girl, But not my hands. There's no way I can make anyone understand. No matter what I sayy, can't make you understand. It's a stained glass speck in your stained glass eyes, But in my eyes all my lies do lie. So, I say, Hey Hey-ey... I've got something to say- Say-ay... Oh wait-There's nothing left to say To you baby. © 2010 Dennis Shanaberg |
