I Don't Want to Write a Love Song
I read somewhere that love songs make up 90% of the music market. I have a hard time writing love songs. My lyrics are usually funny, stupid or dark. This song is an example of my limitations. My goal when I started writing these lyrics was to pen a love song and this is what came out.

Wunschliste
Verse 1.
I want to write about
my one-night stands.
To count them all
I'd need six more hands.
A common problem if you're
in a band.
Or beaver-eager to
become a man.
I want to write a song
about my woes.
Place my worries on
the backs of hoes.
Play the victim card,
be one of those.
Say you're a villian.
I'm a hero.
Chorus.
I don't want to write a love song.
Make a total stranger cry.
Pour my heart out on the paper.
Cut it up and make it rhyme.
I don't want to write a love song.
Every word would be a lie.
I was the one. I was the traitor.
I was the fool who said good-bye.
Verse 2.
I want to write a song
about how sweet
my life is now. Satisfied.
Complete.
I want to tell the world
about my cash.
Forget the riches of the
love I had.
I want to write a song
that players sing.
Where bad behavior is the
next best thing.
I want to plead may case
and convince you.
I'm so much better now that
we are through.
Chorus.
I don't want to write a love song.
Make a total stranger cry.
Pour my heart out on the paper.
Cut it up and make it rhyme.
I don't want to write a love song.
Every word would be a lie.
I was the one. I was the traitor.
I was the fool who said good-bye.
Bridge.
Love songs are the words
that we sing to remind.
To keep us remembering
lost loves left behind.
Love songs for the person
who is hopeful and kind.
Need I remind you,
I'm just not that guy.
Verse 3.
I want to write a song
that makes you dance.
You'd do whatever just for
one more chance.
A song so epic, it's a
masterpiece.
Have you begging on you're
hands and knees.
I want to write a song
about my rage.
Call you a bitch on
every page.
I need to show you just how
hard I am.
Hide the fact that I'm a
broken man.
Chorus.
I don't want to write a love song.
Make a total stranger cry.
Pour my heart out on the paper.
Cut it up and make it rhyme.
I don't want to write a love song.
Every word would be a lie.
I was the one. I was the traitor.
I was the fool who said good-bye.
