A Minor Obsession

I never thought I’d see him run away,… and try to find someplace to hide
We all said, “You’re mad to throw away,… a blue-eyed beauty, oh so fine”
And Lord, she was fine,….

And though I really tried to understand, the way she said he made her feel
They only really had a one-night stand,…
Though she kept telling him, “It’s Real...”     But that ain’t real,… No!

CHORUS:
What you call “Love”,… I call “Obsession”
‘Cause he’s just suffocating here through all your pestering
And don’t try telling me,… your love was “meant to be”
‘Cause it was just a one-night stand, Oh Lady, can’t you see?
I’ve tried to clear the truth that you’ve been blocking
‘Cause when you follow him around it’s like you’re stalking
Girl, he never meant to leave a false impression….
But can’t you see?  
What you call “Love”,…. I call a “Minor Obsession”
I call a “Minor Obsession”

She doesn’t see that he’s moved on with life,…
Only sees her own mind’s view
There’s even plans for him to take a wife,…
Though she believes it’s just not true,…    Just can’t be true,…

Now I am trying hard to understand, the way she said he makes her feel
And though they’ve only had a one night stand,…
She keeps believing it was real,…     But that ain’t real,… No!

(CHORUS)
