People say love is a game
Monopoly is more fun than this shit
and at least that comes with directions though no one bothers to read them
With love the rules change with every new player
The basics are
You should smile
Laugh at all their jokes especially if none of them are funny
do not be too “available”
do not awkward
do not be weird, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
I’m not a hopeless romantic
I’m just hopeless
People tell me to get a clue
But I’d much rather be playing clue
Yeah Miss Scarlett killed Mr. Body with the lead pipe in the hall
But hey at least she can’t break your heart
See I don’t mind losing a silly little board game
but baby I couldn’t stand to lose you
When you’re gone my hearts
when you’re with me it hurts even more
This hurt shooting through my veins and down my spine
like the rush of a thousand bingos and Yahtzee’s combined
reminding me I’m alive
That I can feel and think and… love
I don’t want to lose that
I can’t lose that
But wins and losses are a part of life
And I’m not talking about the one I can cheat at
So I’ll just cross my fingers and roll the dice.
