Twisted Love
Not Everything’s As It Seems

I’m texting you dear as your new fiancé
And hoping we’ll see eye to eye
I have an idea that will double your pay
Since YOU’RE pay is reason to cry
Each sport and each game that I’m wanting to watch
Without interruptions by you
Your money from work’s getting kicked up a notch
Cos here’s what I’m willing to do
Each NFL game you’re not bending my ear
Means a C-note will be by the fridge
And while you are up you could grab me a beer
If there’s queso, please bring me a smidge
March Madness is crazy, my bracket could win
I picked three in the last Final Four
I’ll often do pizza with crust super thin
When the bell rings, please answer the door
Remember if golf is on, think what you’ll earn
Each tournament lasts for four days
Consider the money you’re able to turn
And how often this supplement pays
With friends coming over, the jokes will commence
You know they’re just kidding around
You hate watching sports but they mean no offense
It’s just likely the booze that they downed
Stop stressing we’ll never have time on our own
Don’t worry our love will go flat
That night on the town when we’re chilling alone
I will always trade soccer for that
The Olympics this summer won’t likely be fun
With your gossiping friends making noise
I’ll give you the credit card, shop ‘til you’re done
So Bob, you can hang out with your “boys”
