Whose Job Is It Anyway

If you're not feeling loved in the way that you want,
Tell me what do you think is the cause?
If your lover sends notes, but they're in the wrong font,
It might be that you also have flaws?

When you find there's a need, it is best to proceed
With your words, love to blame if it doesn't divine
That you're feeling a lack, your bliss under attack?
Do you feel she's withholding some fruit from her vine?

Love's responsible then for what's absent in life?
Does the sharing of needs make love dross?
Did forgetting your birthday cut you like a knife?
Would love carry this loss like a cross?

Mostly silly it seems is the stuff of our dreams
Though these beautiful butterflies flit in the wind,
And short shrift what is due to most plans we make too,
If you want a great life, helps to know how to bend!
