The Word 'Love'

The word “love” is so easily thrown around It starts to get a distorted meaning To say you "just love that new kitty litter” Then say you “love me” – it starts to come off as a little demeaning “Love” shouldn’t be so easy to say And it shouldn’t be used so very often When you say you “love” this and then you say you “love” that Well, the word kind of starts to soften Based on the words that you have uttered this week I rank right up there with peanut butter and bacon You “love” the new toilet seat, the joke you just heard And the smell of coffee – if I’m not mistaken You “love” your new shoes, the book that you’re reading And that gay guy in the office You “love” sleeping in, getting your fingernails painted And that singer, whoever “The Boss” is You “love” the porcelain pig that is our door stop You “love” the smell of our scented candles You "love" the funny little mugs that you bought last week Because they have the cutest little handles So if I don’t do flips or a handspring or two When you mention how much I am loved It’s only because I’m trying to figure out Where I fit in with those things listed above
