The Point

Johnny L.

i don’t see the point in

introducing me to your boyfriend

i know just what he’s going to say

when you bring home an old friend

we’ve been through this whole thing before

but it’s not amusing, not anymore

i can’t help but feel bitter

he’d be happy if we were enemies

i’ve watched you as you’ve learned

the best ways to get burned

dumb and blind love

i’ve been through your parties

so i know just what i’m in for

i’ll stand alone and ask myself

again what did i come for

it’s not like i’m wasting my time

but you’ve spent all yours

now you’re spending mine

i’m up to here with adoration

and stories of how you met your true love

i’ve watched you as you’ve learned

the best ways to get burned

dumb and blind love

and so i’ll stay here on the brink

and watch you from the border

and listen to you tell me again

how your life is all in order

guys like him are high in demand

but there’s something else you don’t understand

this is the different time and circumstance

so try and think of what he’s thinking of me

i’ve watched you as you’ve learned

the best ways to get burned

dumb and blind love
