Love is Complicated

Jul 03, 2008 01:29

My boyfriend's got a girlfriend
I think she's kinda cute
I just met her ex-boyfriend
I think I like him too
It's not that hard to follow
I'll spell it out for you
Cause I'm dating him, we're both dating her
and I'm dating the guy that she doesn't date anymore

L-O-V-E love is complicated
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R when we both just dated
S-E-X you and I used to be so damn protective
Now we're C-O-L-L-E-C-T-I-V-E love collective

She wears a diamond ring
and says she's married
I asked her "how married are you?"
she said "not very..."
I hope it won't be awkward when I see her at the show
cause I dated her when she was married to him
then she got divorced and I'm dating her friend

L-O-V-E love is complicated
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R when we both just dated
S-E-X you and I used to be so damn protective
Now we're C-O-L-L-E-C-T-I-V-E love collective

Small towns are great for meeting people
and tying them up to your bed
I'm doing laundry every weekend
I got the Ethical Slut read
The sex is great, my belly's achin'
From all of this forbidden fruit

So before we kiss or remove our clothes
There is a list I must disclose
of romantic entanglements, one-night stands
girlfriends, friends with benefit plans
long-term primary, long-distance secondary
tertiary who was married to an ex-cuddle-buddy
spring fling, summer-lover
better half, romantic other
kissing-cousin, pen-pal
codependent booty call
spin-the-bottle, cuddle-puddle
kissing booth [...alma]
sweetheart, best friend
who could [stand a crush or ten]
Santa Cruz, Oakland, Arcata
Eugene and Olympia

L-O-V-E love is complicated
R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R when we both just dated
S-E-X you and I used to be so damn protective
Now we're C-O-L-L-E-C-T-I-V-E love collective

transposed myself...not sure about the parts in brackets, is anyone? You can listen to the track at their myspace. Gotta love Olympia :)
