The Passion Irony

©2017 Garrett Clevenger

Chorus:

E B On the day I met my love,

B E Aphrodite smiled from above.

E F#m A She knew the feeling of

B my beating heart

B E and knew that we would never, ever part.

E B My darling love felt the same

B E towards me, this vagrant name.

E F#m A We would together tame

B our wandering ways

B E and team up. Together live our days.

E B Aphrodite spun her spell.

B E My darling and I in love we fell.

E F#m A Rising higher into the fire

B we leapt in glee.

B E Now we have a baby who makes three.

Chorus:

B A E Aphrodite knew there was a good chance

B A E our passion would result in a child.

Dbm No matter how hard she tried

B to cast the passion spell

A B the baby he just cried

A B as the parents got de-energized.

E B The Goddess of Love felt a bit sad

B E then she saw the love we all have.

E F#m A Just because we don’t get it on

B as much as we did

B E all our love pours into our kid.

E B That’s all that matters now.

B E Aphrodite we don’t need anyhow.

E F#m A Let her go her go prowl the town.

B Maybe she will meet

B E a baby-maker to give her a treat.

E B A baby for the Love Goddess

B E so she’ll know just how blessed

E F#m A the parents she decided to mess

B with the passion irony:

B E you loose it when you get a baby.
