I oftentimes wish that this thing called love came with instructions
Or maybe even a rule book of some sort
And who knows, maybe then I’ll be able to get this thing right
And find one of those loves that people look upon in admiration
Fingers crossed, wishing for their very own fairy tale story
In which they ride off into the sunset, bareback upon their happily ever after with their soulmate
All the while singing
‘If loving you is wrong’
I have to stop myself there
‘Cuz I’ve been thinking
And you know what
It just might be
I mean it has to be
‘Cuz I’ve already started breaking the rules for you
Like rule number 121…
‘Never fall in love with someone who’s already in love with someone else’
Yeah I failed this course
I got a big fat F
And I wish I could explain to you how messed up this is
This ‘I love you and you love him’ situation
Maybe then you’ll realize why each time I kiss you it’s as soft and as sweet as it is
Hoping that you’d still taste me when you look into his eye
Or maybe you’ll understand and appreciate why each time I hold you it’s as tight and long as it is
Maybe just maybe you’ll be able to smell me when you get next to him
And as you see, things just doesn’t add up
Like the countless hours you’re spending quality time over there with him
While I’m over here exhausting ever minute and every moment of my time wanting you
Feigning for you even
Wishing for you next to me
Yeah I know…silly of me to ever think that I could be your guy
But I love you….and I want you…
And of course…it had to be silly of me to ever think that you’d want me too
But I love you
Which reminds me of rule number 56
‘Love is just another crazy game of duck-duck-goose where you’re very rarely ever the goose’
So used to being the duck that you forget the game at play
But if I break the rules for you, does that make you love me back
If I break the rules for you, does that mean I win
See loving you has got to be wrong
I mean, how else do you explain me feeling like I’m winning when I’ve already lost
Duck…duck…goose
Duck…duck…will I ever be your goose
Duck…just another term we use in exchange for the word fool
‘Oh love, oh love, stop making a…’
Duck…Duck……duck
