No Romance - The Rainmakers

Are you looking for some answers

Well you’ve come to the wrong place

You might find lines, but no valentines

Written all over my face

I bear no grudge, I wear no frown

I just come with calloused hands

And I don’t mean to bring you down but

There is no romance

I’ve spent too much of my life waiting

Hoping, dreaming, wishing, believing

And way too little of it living

Smashing it up and taking and giving

I wish someone had warned me

While I was still a young man

And saved me lots of time and money

There is no romance

No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance

No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance

Save your stories for the bartender

And your crying for the theater

And your poems and your diary pages

To kill some time in your old age

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh

There may be gods who hear your prayers

And honest men who, men who care

And young lovers who say they will wait forever

Lives that look like movies and books

But the sooner that you learn this

The sooner you free your hands

To get on with things that really matter

There is no romance

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
