Love Song?

You Don't Love Me Anymore

Lyrics:

We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

This is the best song by Al Yankovic that is not a parody of a real song, though I do think it is based on an artist. The song has the feel and sound of an old James Taylor ballad.

Thought I'd share the lyrics with you!

Nice one!
Here's a great song that I like, called The Ballad Of Tom Jones - it was done by Space and Cerys from Catatonia.

T = line sung by Tommy (Space)
C = line sung by Cerys (Catatonia)

T - What did I do wrong?
C - Oh, you nearly drove me cuckoo
T - Am I really all that bad?
C - You're worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddy Krueger
T - Why are we still together?
C - Oh, I can't leave you till you're dead
T - You mean till death do us part
C - I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe through your head
T - It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
C - They say that music soothes the savage beast
T - There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
CT - The two of us would've surely have ended up dead

CHORUS
CT - You stopped us from killing each other
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
CT - You'll never know but you saved our lives
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
C - I've never thrown my knickers at you
T - And I don't come from wales

T - Still haven't solved our problems
C - You mean we hate each other's guts
T - Still want to poison your pizza
C - And I still want to cut off your nuts
T - I've phoned the marriage guidance
C - I've tied the phone-line round your neck
T - I'm sick of all this hatred
C - Oh, that'll be the arsenic making you sick
T - You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
C - As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
T - You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
CT - It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits

[chorus]

C - And now our war is over
T - I've lost the urge to break your neck
C - I owe my life to What's New Pussycat
T - Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you're dead
C - Oh, I used to call Satan
T - I called you Cruella de Ville
C - But now you call me your Delilah
T - And now I'm not your Lucifer
C - And I am just a pussycat
T - But just a word of warning now
C - Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
T - I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
C - And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song

[chorus] x2

[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Thank you skywalker! Weird Al always seems to to brighten my day, no matter how bleak it is! His original songs are some of his best! One of my faves is on "Dare to be Stupid", I think its called "Spend one more minute with you", but alas I dont have the album here to confirm.

Thanks again!

Hey Chewbacca, I found it!

One More Minute
by Al Yankovic

Lyrics:

(constant "doo wop"s in the background throughout the song)

Aahh

Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')
Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)

So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)

That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new
'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feeling down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self-service pumps

Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two
'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)
Again and again and again and again and again

Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)
Shove an icepick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathroom in Grand Central Station with my tongue
Than spend one more minute with you

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades
Than spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart out of my ribcage with my bare hands
and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die
Than spend one more minute with you

Too funny!
