The Lovesong (That I'm Not Allowed To Write)
De Heideroosjes · Other Songs - De Heideroosjes
Man, I hate those three words 'cause they sound so
fuckin' empty
I hardly ever say them myself but you said them
plenty
It's not cool for a punk to say 'I love you' but I do
The lovesong that I'm not allowed to write
because cool rockers only fuck'n, drink'n, fight
Oh my dear you know that you can break my fuckin'
heart
You can make this touch guy beg and cry and fall
apart
It's not cool for a punk to say 'I love you' but I do
