I've had enough of silly love songs

And apparently so had John Lennon. He's the reason Sir Paul wrote this song after John bashed his post-Beatles song-writing.

Just call me and ol' John crazy cynics. But love songs just irritate me. Girls listen to those songs and believe that crap. And then expect real-life men to act like that. And they just don't. And can't. And won't. Then comes the hurt and disappointment. And the nagging. And the life-crushing let-down that can only come from expecting too much from a man based on love song lyrics. Honey, when he says (in a love song, of course, because men don't talk like this in real life),"I wanna love you all night long" he means maaaybe 5-7 minutes, OK? When he says "You've been on my mind all day" he means "I've been hoping we were having baked beans for supper" When he says "I just can't live without you" he means "Who's gonna do the laundry?"

I don't read romance novels for the same reason. Or watch the Hallmark channel. I don't want to be pissed off or disappointed. And I certainly don't need no crushing let-down.

Just make his beans and try not to expect too much.

'Cause life just ain't a love song.
