DEFECTIVE LOVER Music: Louis Cristofani Lyrics: Anthony Cristofani ©2004

Word is going round town that I?m unhealthy
Cuz I didn?t tell you sweet little lies god help me
If I?m so unhealthy, well then, tell me
Why do 4 out of 5 soul physicians
Recommend the Sacred Dice for malnutrition

If you were a pop star you wouldn?t sing
If you were a phone you wouldn?t ring
And I?d have to guess when I was being called
If you were a mother you would not nurse
If you were a doctor, you?d just get worse
Cuz as a lover you never really learned to love at all

You rewrote it, the history of our little war
now you call it ?unhealthy? what you once called love before
now the problem, is medical, it?s alphabetical
a-b-c, baby you and me are incompatible
Cuz you need a man whose honesty, is on sabbatical

Here comes the therapist who saved you better ask him
How come you used to love it when I spoke in maxims?
When I?d attack the lies of all those? other guys
But when I turned my art on your deceit
Then you called it abuse and conceit

You said you loved me for my communication
But now you practice only ex?communication
Supposed to be supportive, be honest? sort of
Guess you gave up faith when you gave up youth
but remember self-esteem comes before truth

If you were pants you?d need a belt, cuz you can?t hold up yourself
If you were a pill you couldn?t be popped
If you were a fighter you?d get dropped
If you were a stock you?d go down
If you were a leaf, you?d go brown
If you were a car, we?d have to push
If you were a president, you?d be bush!
Cuz as a lover you never really learned to love at all
