Your Love's Like Glue - Herbert Grönemeyer

Love’s not what i’d call it

Whatever we’re coming to:

We’re going round in circles

It’s pointless now, to tell the truth

You’re always (so) understanding

Of everyone you think the best

Since you say i’m nearly perfect

Even my rage is meaningless

Now your friendliness drives me crazy

My nerves are on edge with you

Sapping the strength from my spirit — you’re just too good, too good to be true

At first i was captivated

By your warmth and kindliness

Now i know you’re just a coward

You won’t face an argument

Always slipping through my fingers

Never even take a side

Agree with all my opinions

Even when you know they’re lies

Like some flabby punchbag

You absorb my every blow

I kick you, beat you, bite you: you just shrug it off with one more «I know»

Your love’s like glue, you’re driving me insane

Cotton-wool sweet talk, treacle clogging up my brain

Some kind of torture, how very sweet you are

Sugar in my fuel tank so i can’t go too far

You’re just too pure for me to endure

My jaws are clamped together

I’ll grind my teeth to points for sure

I know you want the best of me

But i’m not giving any more

You dog my heels and track me

You’re always on my tail

Like chinese water torture

Good nature must prevail

No point in trying any harder

I’ve seen right through your 'love'…

It only gives me goose-bumps

To feel the touch of your soft kid gloves

Your love’s like glue…

No point now in coming from your corner

Talking’s useless as my mouth goes slack

And you’ve coated me in honeyed

Words of flattery

But this time i really mean it

I’m at my wits' end with your act…

Your love’s like glue…
