The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighterShe smoldered with a will to save the worldI did my best to help her, yeah I stood shoulder to shoulderOn the front lines with my visionary girlI wish that she had cared for meBut in the end her ideologiesOccupied the fortress of her heartI wrote her 15 songs, but still we had to partAnd if music was the food of loveThen I'd be a fat romantic slobWell music, it's my substitute for loveThe last girl that I loved she was a low and lusty liarShe set my heart on fire, but made me chokeHer beauty was a sight to see, but she didn't save it all for meI found other fires by following the smokeI wish that she had either cared for me orLet be meBut she chased me from mind and from my homeLetras de cancionesI wrote her 16 songs, but I ended up aloneAnd if love is really all that we needThen even all my singing is never gonna save meMusic it's my substitute for loveWell I've had many different girls inside my bedBut only one or two inside my headThese days I cuddle up to my guitar insteadBut oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in loveAnd I could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to me
