[Verse]
He was in tails, she was leaking happy tears
just moments away from 50 years
[Pause]
They never saw it coming, it was quite the surprise
An accident on moving day, and a baby grand falls from 30 stories high

[PreChorus]
In real life it would have been obscene
but I laughed so hard when I saw it on the big screen 
[Chorus] 
I never was one for the chick flick movies
I like the ones with guns [pause] and boobies
[pause]
Was I dropped on my head as a child, or did my momma just raise me wrong
Tell me whyyyy, why do I write love songs?

[Verse]
I was feeling more uncomfortable with every turn of the page
These two young lovers are still hard locked at the face
[Pause]
But I know, they'll never see it coming. It'll be quite the surprise
On the cover is Stephen Kings smiling face and kindly reassuring eyes

[Chorus]
I’ve never read a Harlequin, and I think there’s something wrong with them that do
how about you?
how about you?
Was I dropped on my head as a child or did my momma just raise me wrong
I’ve never lived a happy ending, tell me whyyyy, why do I write love songs?

[Bridge]
So much in the world going on, more than I can comprehend no doubt.
So much in the world gone wrong but that aint what I write songs about.

[Chorus]
I never was one for the chick flick movies
I like the ones with guns [pause] and boobies
[pause]
Was I dropped on my head as a child, or did my momma just raise me wrong
Tell me whyyyy, why do I write love songs?
Why do I write love songs?
