Singletons
Jason O’Donnell
Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls
and all you singletons
‘round the world.
We tried our hardest
for that answer above
but we came up short
so yeah fuck love.
The shit we go through
to find someone else
at this rate we might start
dating ourselves.
And don’t get me started
on Valentine’s Day
it’s gone so commercial
we’re throwing money away.
And those three special words
yeah ‘I love you ?
What a load of shite
when they’re not said to you.
No luck with relationships
so go forth and mingle
we have an excuse
we are fucking single.
So in the name of singletons
I’ll raise a glass
and then tell love
to kiss my ass!
