| Are you looking for some answers
|
| Well you’ve come to the wrong place
|
| You might find lines, but no valentines
|
| Written all over my face
|
| I bear no grudge, I wear no frown
|
| I just come with calloused hands
|
| And I don’t mean to bring you down but
|
| There is no romance
|
| I’ve spent too much of my life waiting
|
| Hoping, dreaming, wishing, believing
|
| And way too little of it living
|
| Smashing it up and taking and giving
|
| I wish someone had warned me
|
| While I was still a young man
|
| And saved me lots of time and money
|
| There is no romance
|
| No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance
|
| No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance
|
| Save your stories for the bartender
|
| And your crying for the theater
|
| And your poems and your diary pages
|
| To kill some time in your old age
|
| Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
|
| Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
|
| There may be gods who hear your prayers
|
| And honest men who, men who care
|
| And young lovers who say they will wait forever
|
| Lives that look like movies and books |
| But the sooner that you learn this
|
| The sooner you free your hands
|
| To get on with things that really matter
|
| There is no romance
|
| Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
|
| Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh |
