[ Love ] It Must Be Some Kind Of Love

 
First  
let me get this off my chest  
I think it would best  
if you would just shut your mouth  
 
Next  
I'm going to make a suggestion  
so try to pay attention for once---  
take your fingers  
out of your ears  
 
It must be some kind of love  
to keep me hanging around all these years  
It must be some kind of love  
or is it insanity?  
 
THAT'S still up for debate  
 
Wait  
just one goddam minute  
My argument - you can't win it  
so chill, take it in stride  
 
Hate  
I hate it when you don't listen  
Every other word I say, you're missing  
preoccupied with your ego---  
too busy stroking it  
 
This must be some kind of love  
to keep me putting up with all your bullshit  
This must be some kind of love  
or is it insanity?  
 
I'm still undecided about it  
 
STOP  
what you are doing  
 
TAKE  
a moment to see  
 
COP  
to what I've been saying  
 
MAKE  
an effort to acknowledge me  
 
or I'm gonna take a long walk
round the block  
never to return  
and set fire to the love letters  
you used to send  
Light'em up
watch'em burn  
 
Once  
upon a time, long ago  
all I had to do  
was be myself  
 
Now  
in order to get you to focus  
on us  
I have to be  
a raving bitch  
 
It must be some kind of love  
It must be some kind of love  
It must be some kind of love  
or insanity  
 
I'm not sure which
