So you wanna hear a story, well I’ve got one for you
Just remember my words, and whatever you do
Never fall in love it’s a waste of time
Forget what you seen in movies
Forget what you read in books
Relationships are filled with lies and dirty looks
They’d rather see you dead before they see you smile
I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind
Oh, it’s a crime, yeah!
Perhaps you think that you’re different cuz you’re like nobody else
Well let me tell you something your life will become Hell
As soon as you agree to that misery
The honeymooning will last all of maybe three days
And after that you’ll regret the choice that you made
I’m amazed that everyone still tries at all
I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind
Oh, it’s a crime
Trust me, you’ll make all the same mistakes that we’ve all made before
Then finally you’ll see why love is such a chore
Just hear me when I say that it ain’t worth your time
But you won’t listen to me, you gotta screw up on your own
So when you do just all me up. I already know
I’ll meet you at the bar later on tonight.
Then we’ll drink until we pass out on the floor
And hit on anything that walks in through the door
I’m not saying that it’s all just a waste of time
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a grind
Oh, it’s a crime, yeah!
