love love love
love is everywhere
in the air that you breathe
in your every heartbeat
and they say
that love makes the world go around

Is that so?
So I see
that's why the world is standing still for me
I've fought on the battlefields of love so many times
but I've never been the one to say "victory"
'cause my heart's been pierced by the grim reaper
who laughs ironically at me
whilst I'm crawling back beneath the black sun in the sky
carrying my slain heart inside
and I feel only pain

Ob-la-da Ob-la-di
hey, I'm Mr Poetry

So I don't waste my time
with loving anymore
love is lovely indeed
but it ain't working for me
so don't show me your feelings
step carefully

'Cause I'm Mr Mistake
yeah I'm the worlds greatest flaw
oh can't you see, I'm Mr Poetry
writing my words unwritten
why don't you come and cry with me

hey, love's a loaded gun
and it won't aim for your bloody head
no, it'll shoot you right through your heart
leave you lyin' and cryin' in your own bed
watching everything fall apart
with a hole in your soul

yeah, they say that love conquers all
but don't you know
love's dangerous
it's your enemy
so step carefully
and don't get any of those hostile feelings
towards me

don't pretend
that you need the love from the heart that I wield
stop making believe
I could never be the man you need

for my heart is not needed in this world
and all the love that I carry
is just a heavy load
a burden for me
Mr Poetry

so hey
get the hell away
leave me lonely
leave me alone
all by myself
'cause loneliness is all I've ever known
