Compromise
I have a boyfriend Paul
He lives in Cobble Hill
I met him at the gym where he works out when he kicked me off the treadmill
He said he only had half an hour
And I looked like an actress that could be there all day
So he said, “You don’t mind, Baby. Do you think…”
And I said, “Sure.”
Because compromise is important in a relationship
Compromise is important to keep the love alive
Oh yes, compromise is important in a relationship
In order for love to survive
He asked me, “What’s your name?”
And we started making out.
I mean, it was kinda spontaneous, sure. But isn’t that what love’s about?
And I lent him twenty dollars, and he took me out to dinner
And he told me to call his beeper
And I couldn’t help thinking as I rode home that that was nice
Because accessibility is important in a relationship
Accessibility is important to keep the love alive
Yes, accessibility is important in a relationship
In order for love to survive
My therapist says… well, she’s really not my therapist.
My friend, Yonah, she does Feng Shui
Said, “Ramona, don’t you think it’s time you asked yourself
‘What’s in it for me?’”
What’s in it for me!
I said, “Yonah, you’ve been moving all that furniture around too long
It’s time to get out there and get yourself some love
Because love is important in a relationship
Love is important to keep the… love alive…
Oh yes, love is important in a relationship
In order for love to survive
In order for love to survive
Oh yes.
In order for love to survive.
I gotta go. I gotta pick up his dry cleaning.
He trusts me with his suits!
