lyrics

She hates love songs
Because they never say anything new
She hates love songs
Because I never make them come true

Every night you turn on your Barry White
And wonder why I’m not more like him
Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, I ain’t got the ways of Marvin Gay
You get so mean when you turn on Al Green

She hates love songs
Because they never say anything new
She hates love songs
Because I never make them come true

Come home late from a concert date
Broken record strewn across the floor.
Some say Marvin. Some say Miles.
All I know if they’re proof of my flaws.
How can I please her when there’s bands like Weezer
And songs that say I’ll love you ‘til the end.
She wants to hear cliches but that not the things I say.
I’m scared she’s going to throw all my records away.

She hates love songs
Because they never say anything new
She hates love songs
Because I never make them come true

Women you say they you hate love songs.
But you listen to them all the goddamn time.
And you say that I need to be that way
Or be gone

Kiss my face for kiss my ass.
I knew this thing could never last
‘Cause I’m not a hokey song
Cut into vinyl

I’d be perfect for you if I was wrapped up in a sleeve
And I sang you lies whenever you went to sleep
And you could turn me off
Whenever you were bored or need to leave

I’m leaving you for punk rock.
I’m leaving you for punk rock.
For their exciting stage
Full of unbridled rage
I’m leaving you for punk rock

‘Cause they don’t have
Any love songs
