Breaking My Heart On Valentine’s Day

Pretty darling, I am ignoring you today

Because you’re trying, on Valentine’s Day

To break my heart and badly destroy my soul

I’m looking the other way, because I’m no foul.

You are very nasty to me for no real reason

Even though, this is a frigid and icy season

My heart is very warm, calm and happy

And I’m very positive, optimistic and healthy.

I have no idea what’s the matter with you

You need to go to go counseling, darling

This should be a season to dream and to sing

To celebrate love and to discretely flee the crew.
