This is about that person you keep going back to whenever you're single. Bad news.

lyrics

Am I being curt?
Don’t you know this hurts
More than it hurts you?
Breaking up is hard to do
Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

Darling dear, it’s cruel
Don’t you know the golden rule?
Don’t do what you don’t want done to you
You think I get enjoyment from others’ disappointment?
What if I do?
You do too

Oh misanthrope
You’re my last hope
If we’re still alone in twenty years
Let’s be alone together
Oh misanthrope
You’re my best hope
If we’re still around in twenty years
Let’s fool around together

Sorry everyone
You’re all just too dumb
For overeducated folks like us
Why don’t you just get off of our bus?
Beep beep beep
Beep beep beep, yeah

But the cops of love are smart
Our trail of broken hearts
Is all the proof they’ll need I fear
To lock us away for a hundred years
Well here’s to that
Cheers to that

Oh misanthrope
You’re my last hope
If we’re still alone in twenty years
Let’s be alone together
Oh misanthrope
You’re my best hope
If we’re still around in twenty years
Let’s fool around together

Oh misanthrope
You’re my last hope
If we’re still alone in twenty years, let’s be alone together
Oh misanthrope
You’re my best hope
If we’re still around in twenty years, let’s fool around together

Covers
by Lauren O'Connell

Lauren's originals are fantastic, too, but the covers are a great way to fall under her spell. Tommy Wallach

Info Nympho
by Cuddle Magic

Songwriter Ben Davis (full disclosure: he helped me with my record) combines catchy melodies with crazy sonic meanderings. The rest of the band is tight as an "insert offensive joke here." Tommy Wallach
