My love for you is quite substantial
Just enough to get us by
When I'm with you, I never panic
My stomach knows no butterflies
My feelings for you are adequate
I kiss you like I do my mother
Politely, cordially, out of duty
Plainly and unpassionate
There are no ups and downs
No disbelief at what I've found
Our love is completely logical
Solid, steady, and sound
My love is understandable
Laid out, and well defined
My love is clearly tangible
No need for even trying
My want for you is sustainable
And well under control
My desire is easily satiable
Like a dead tree that no longer grows
I'll love you this way until I die
Or until the day you leave
And on that day, I will not cry
Nor shall I ever grieve
Because this kind of love is lacking passion
And without true belief
It's the kind of love you're better off without
It will never satisfy your needs

There are no ups and downs
No disbelief at what I've found

And on that day, I will not cry
Nor shall I ever grieve
Because this kind of love is lacking passion
And without true belief
It's the kind of love you're better off without
It will never satisfy your needs
You're doing it all wrong
