Song: Don't Take Advice From Love Songs

I listened to the Eagles and we took all the right pills
I listened to the Eagles and I paid outrageous bills
That's right when Jenny ran off to see the hills
I found out the hard way she'd dropped me from her will

I listened to Barenaked Ladies and bought my sweetie a hot green dress
I listened to Barenaked Ladies, so it wasn't a real green dress
I still don't know why Norma got so distressed
She looked so pretty, with nothing on her breasts

Don't take advice from love songs on matters of the heart
Don't take advice from love songs, just stop before you start
Don't take advice from love songs, it can rip your life apart
including this one

I listened to Wang Chung and took my baby by the ears
I listened to Wang Chung and played upon her darkest fears
And then my Suzy, she ran away in tears
I think the restraining order will be done in two more years

I listened to Billy Joel and told her all my crazy dreams
I listened to Billy Joel and let her know how much she means
Right after Mary let out a piercing scream
I wish I knew why she tried to drown me in the stream

Don't take advice from love songs on what you go and do
Don't take advice from love songs or else you may be through
Don't take advice from love songs, they'll really leave you blue
including this one.

Frank Sinatra and Patsy Cline don't understand my grand design
INXS, The Cure, The Who don't know what I need to do
Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash just steer me wrong until I crash
What do I have to do?
to show my love is true?
For you and you and you??

I listened to the Thompson Twins and I warmed my baby's heart
I listened to the Thompson Twins and I let the loving start
I walked with Colleen until the orderlies tore us apart
Falling for an open heart patient just wasn't very smart

I listened to my sweetie when she said, "It's time to go."
I listened to my sweetie and turned off my radio
Sally and I walked together down that hallway called Death Row
Why I'm going to the chair is something I still don't know

Don't take advice from love songs on how to live your life
Don't take advice from love songs for a husband or a wife
Don't take advice from love songs it can only lead to strife
Including this one
Especially this one
