Another Song About Love

Girl meets boy, and boy meets girl

They go to senior prom and then go out into the world

They’re Archie and Veronica, they’re Jack and Diane

They’ve started into thinking that it’s all some kind of plan

They may see a gold anniversary
Or they may find that they’ve had enough
But it’s just another song about love


She’s a single mom raising two girls all alone

He’s looking online for a love to call his own

They like the same music, they have the same fears

They’ve lost at love before and can’t remember all the tears

Soon he’s headed east on the freeway

In a car jammed with all of his stuff

But it’s just another song about love


It’s “Stardust” and “Something” and “Unchained Melody”

It’s “At Last” and “Make You Feel My Love” and “All of Me”

They’re all great love songs, I’m sure you know that’s true

But the best love songs are written by me and you


It’s another first date, another new start

Another night together or another broken heart

But we all play the fool, we all know the game

It doesn’t even matter if the sexes are the same

You may be together forever

Or your lives might prove to be rough

But it’s just another song about love
