( Valentine's Day song lyrics )
MASSACRE ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT
Copyright © 2008 - MickTerry.com

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY   (soon!)

Red candles, warm soft firelight
on a frozen February eve:
preambles to this romantic night
in a scheme of lying & deceit.
The woman hears what she wants to hear.
The man says anything he can
if he thinks it will get his trophy souvenir,
if he thinks it will get him in her pants.

    There'll be a MASSACRE ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT.
    So many hearts will be broken.
    A MASSACRE ON VALENTINE'S NIGHT.
    So many hearts will be crushed
    by a lot of insincerity and pledges falsely spoken,
    supposedly in the name of love, but really just for lust.

Sweet candies, big diamond ring
buy him proof his statements must be real.
Uncanny how choc'late & some bling
will convince her this is how he feels.
The woman hears what she wants to hear,
especially given plenty wine.
And this program has worked for sev'ral hundred years.
And it gets women almost ev'ry time.

    CHORUS

        Casualties will be staggering,
        with walking wounded ev'rywhere.
        Casualties will be staggering
        & it happens nearly ev'ry year.

Red roses, red lacy hearts,
red balloons tied to the rest'rant chairs.
He knows that his sappy Hallmark card
won't convey the lust he's hiding there.
The woman hears what she wants to hear
& promptly disregards the rest.
And the man says the words he knows are insincere.
He's in lust, but she doesn't know it yet.

    CHORUS

To other negative love song lyrics:   STORIES
ALL OVER YOU
I'M TRADING YOU IN
BEAUTY OF THE SCARS
DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK
DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE
I'M NOT THAT DESPERATE YET
SHE WILL NOT SAY SHE'S SORRY
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO CRY
NO WAY (THAT I'M GOING BACK HOME YET)
To the TOP
