How many ways can we write about love
Without words, we've already used
Could invent some new ones but most of you people
Would be lost and really confused

So we stick with same old time-honored phrases
Safe that our message gets through
Sure like to shock you with some uppity words
Invent a real new word or two

Something like, “I love you profusely”
Nah, that doesn't do it for me
How about, “love you like a kick in the face”
To some, it means, “I love thee!”

Maybe too violent for the average filly
Perhaps, “I love you like chocolate pudding”
Don't be shy, but no naughty stuff
And refrain from pussyfooting

So here's what I suggest the new word should be
Holypoopadoodlezissbamboo
“Kinda long!” I can hear you guys mumbling
So maybe just the old “I love you!”
