about

A song about a relationship that ended in no small part due to puns, and therefore allows the listener to understand my general disdain for them.

lyrics

Was it something I said? Baby I don't know
Give me some kind of clue (got no idea)
For the first time in your life,
You can't find the words

A simple turn of phrase
So many different ways to hear them;
I fear them
Cause for whatever's wrong, foolish phrases aren't something to die for

(refrain)

Alliteration conceals your true meaning
The depth of your wordplay's so deep
That I don't know if I can find my way out

What's wrong with good old-fashioned joking?
(situations, observations, I could go on....and on...)
But for whatever's wrong foolish phrases are not something to die 4

(refrain)

So many things I wish you'd never said
You play with your words (who even does that?)
Clever girl....

What's wrong with good old fashioned joking?
(situations, observations, I could go on...and on...and on...and ON....")

No matter what's gone wrong, we can work it out

(refrain)
