about

I learned this song before TR had finished writing it. Its final, proper title is "Why Does Love Make Me Stupid". You should look up his finished version of the song; it's completely different.

lyrics

Why Does Love...
© TR Ritchie - Whitebark Music

I've been investigating this peculiar situation.
I've read the literature and listened to the speculation.
I've gone into the field to study it first-hand,
But there remains a point or two that I still don't understand.

Why does love make you stupid?
How can your heart be so cruel?
Watch out for that rascal cupid.
You may think you're smart, but when he shoots his dart
You will find yourself playing the fool.

I've monkeyed with the numbers and done lengthy calculations,
I've analyzed the spreadsheets in search of explanation,
I've looked the contracts over with a most judicious eye,
But I never see the loopholes 'til they hang me out to dry.

I've questioned all my friends, but they don't have a clue.
I asked a crystal ball to tell me what to do.
I even went to church to ask God for a sign,
But all he said was, "Kid, your guess is just as good as mine!"

So I'm developing a theory about the human race
Wherein love is just another cream pie in your face,
And I've made a - a commitment to the moon and stars above
To duck a little faster next time some jerk mentions love.
