Because of a Wink

You love her, but she loves him

And he loves somebody else

You just can’t win

It feels like it will go on ‘til the day you die

This thing they call “love”

It makes you cry

You’ve had the blues, the reds and the pinks

One thing is on your mind

“Love Stinks”

Two by two and side by side

Love’s gonna find you

You just can’t hide

You’ll hear it call, your heart will fall

But the fear inside

Will ruin it all

Pushed away, this beautiful love,

Will fly away like a wounded dove,

You don’t care what any casanova thinks,

All that’s on your mind is,

“Love Stinks”

Half-way down a pit with no end in sight,

You cry knowing she was just right

A beautiful dove whose tears were shed,

When she found out she got misled,

She shivered and shook in front of the door,

Her last few bags standing on the floor,

She loved you, but you let a dove go,

To chase a woodpecker to and fro,

You’ve been through jewels from the dollarstore,

You’ve seen skunks painted like minks,

You thought this dove was a crow painted white.

You finally found love that didn’t stink,

But you lost it all because of a wink.
