Somebody Told Me

This hurt so bad.

I was bragging about my love,

About his charm and the risks he takes.

Somebody said, "He cannot show love.

Returning overdue books is the only risk he takes."

I was boasting about my love,

As to how much he is a real man.

Somebody said, "He will only turn you on, love,

About as much as a fused plug can."
