Don't Talk To Me About Love

Let’s Clean House

Don’t talk to me about love.
The shirts need to be picked up from the cleaner’s .
The cat’s gotta be fed.
There’s the hairdresser’s and the new 5 slice toaster
and remember
tonight there is today’s Movie of the Week.

Love? Let’s have children.
Love? Let’s join a fitness club.
Love? Let’s look at our new sofa.
Love? Let’s make it twice a week at 5:15.
Love? I’m reading a book about it.

Don’t talk to me about love.

when military spending is so low
when I gotta plan this winter’s getaway
when it’s raining outside,
when the neighbors just bought a new car
when the alarm clock’s just waiting to blow
it’s time to go.

Don’t talk to me about love.

Let’s clean house. The Little’s are coming over!
