VERSE I
So here I am
   I'm a man without a message, got no future plans.
And since I'm weak I'm feeling fine
   Since I don't got nobody to be living or dying for.

You figure it out
   My greatest affliction is no personal doubt.
So that's a dangerous combination
   My greatest ambition is my self preservation.

So, I'm all alone
   I still got my own bedroom and some wicked cologne.
I'm gonna use it just as soon as I can
   Sweep some girl off her feet and then I'll drop her where I said and I'll say...

CHORUS
Love is a wonderful thing, but it's not for me.
Yes, wonderful thing which I'll never be cursed
   With the blessings of a broken heart.
Which I'll never be cursed,
   with the blessings of a broken heart, no broken heart.

VERSE II
Don't look that way
   You'd probably say the same thing if you weren't in so deeply
Not to say I'm not bitter
   I've swallowed loads of pride and I still aint no sinner

So just leave me to be
   So I can ponder the questions which are dreadful just to think of.

Will I die alone
   When no one really knows me?
Will my memory live on
   With only friends as family?
Can I love someone
   When only memories haunt me?
Can I find someone
   Before my mind starts straying?

CHORUS
Love is a wonderful thing, but it's not for me.
Yes, wonderful thing which I'll never be cursed
   With the blessings of a broken heart.
Which I'll never be cursed,
   with the blessings of a broken heart, no broken heart.

VERSE III
So here I am
   So what, here I am again drive myself crazy.
Least I got gas in the car
   That's a good thing 'cause I'm bout a million miles away from.

BRIDGE
Love never made sense to me
   The problem is I'm a stickler for reason.
I'll probably start playing again
   Just as soon, as soon as I'm ready for my beating.
