It's Not a Good Idea

It's not a good idea to listen to these boys
They swear they are in love, then treat our hearts like little toys
They send us empty words in rhyme, why does it get you every time

They made a solemn oath that didn't last a single day
So, it's not a good idea to put much faith in things they say
Cause any love that comes this fast is a folly that won't last
But if they really are in love?
What is love? What does it mean?
He thinks he love's a plastic princess, not a partner, not a queen
He doesn't even notice who he's chasing, he just likes to make the chase
He makes these grand elaborate gestures, but won't look me in the face
He talks and talks so he can cover up his insecurities
He's exactly like my Dad
Oh no
He's exactly like me

So, it's not a good idea to think it's real.
The words they use to describe the way they think they feel
They're just in love with saying they're in love
It's not a good idea

On wenches on, love doth approach!
For what come they in the middle of my song?
They do. They do and are apparell'd thus,
Like turtleneck wearing east german performance artists
And will they so?

Well, if that's the big idea, we can beat them at their game
They are coming in disguise, well ladies we can do the same
And our lovers will be tasked for when they come, we will be masked
Hold, take thou this, my sweet, and give me thine
So shall Biron take me for Rosaline.
And change your favors too; so shall your loves woo contrary, deceived by these removes.
But in this changing what is your intent?
My intent is to cross theirs.

And if they ask us to dance?
We will not move a foot
And if they say pretty speeches?
We will just stay put
And if they say their in love?
They say an awful lot
But words are easy, commitment is not
He has to learn to stop his heart from beating
He has to learn to stop his blood from heating
He has to learn to stop his head from cheating

Cause, it's not a good idea to trust these boys
When they treat our hearts like little toys
They're just in love with saying they're in love

But, if I believe Armando with all of his flaws
They're dressing up like Germans, they just want our applause
But maybe I'm running from my best chance
They only want a quick romance

We'll show these men that if they want us they can't act like little boys
If he would stop with all the dancing
And with making so much noise
He would dress like he was normal
And admit that I was right
If he would listen for a minute
All of this could end tonight

Cause, it's not a good idea to think is true
It's part of the game the way they say they feel
Cause if they think that love's a game
Then knock for knock we'll do the same
Just keep your cool and learn to play your part
We are not suppose to mock our lovers so
It's a very good idea
