Billy Bragg
Valentine’s Day Is Over
[Verse 1]
Someday boy you'll reap what you've sown
You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own
You will see that what's wrong with me
Is wrong with everyone you want to play your little games on
[Verse 2]
Poetry and flowers pretty words and threats
You've gone to the dogs again and I'm not placing bets
On your coming home tonight anything but blind
If you take me for granted then you must expect to find
Surprise, surprise
[Chorus]
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
[Verse 3]
Girl with the hour glass figure, time runs out so fast
We used to want the same things but that's all in the past
Latеly it seems that as it all gets tougher
Your idea of justicе just gets rougher and rougher
Surprise, surprise
[Chorus]
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
[Bridge]
If you want to talk about it well you know where the phone is
Don't come round reminding me again how brittle bone is
God didn't make you an angel, the Devil made you a man
That brutality and the economy are related now I understand
When will you realize that as above so below there is no love
[Chorus]
Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over
[Verse 4]
Thank you for the things you bought me, thank you for the card
Thank you for the things you taught me when you hit me hard
Love between two people must be based on understanding
Till that's true you'll find your things all stacked out on the landing
Surprise, surprise
[Chorus]
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over
