	Story Behind the Song As a long time fan of Gilbert and Sullivan, I thought it would be fun to write a patter song, but with very contemporary subject matter. I think they might approve. Lyrics Love and Romance Game copyright 1988 Michael Cohen with Elizabeth A. Sumner 1) Once I was the victim of the widely approved dictum That the heart should rule the mind Love is caring, love is giving, love is sharing and forgiving, Never mind that love is blind But after taking chances on innumerable romances That have ended up the same No more sobbing no more pining, I am finally resigning From the love and romance game 2) Now I won't be jealous when I see those handsome fellas Pickin up on other dames I won't fly into a tizzy when I see some dumb and dizzy blonde Who's got no sense of shame Cuddle up and almost lie on the same guy I've got my eye on Then proceed to kiss and sigh [sigh] Now that's the very sort of scene That makes someone's aorta seem to shrivel up and die 3) Now I won't be troubled by those men who are the double Of those men who trouble me For I've always been attracted to the guys who've always acted Like the guys I shouldn't see I suppose it's self-defeating to be endlessly repeating my behavior, That's common sense Their resemblance to my father really wasn't worth the bother, It was just coincidence 4) Now I won't be anxious, feeling like my heart just sank, Just like it did those other times As I nervously awaited, all made up with breath so bated, For the sound of front door chimes [bing bong] Was he fashionably late, or did he have another date, Or did he crash on his way here I'd never really know what made him never really show But then he never really did appear 5) Now I won't be taking pills for sleeping, pills for waking, Pills to get me through the day Now I won't rely on cigarettes and getting high On every drug that comes my way I won't have to be resorting to the popping, shooting, snorting That makes my mind go dim Always hiding like an ostrich, always trying to find the off-switch That would switch my mind off him
