Fictional Men (Sped Up Version) - PEGGY

So, here's the deal I met this guy like a month ago I got to thinking and I was like, "what the hell!" The only problem is that he's on a screen But he is the man of my dreams And in my head I had it all planned out A little picket fence and a house (three dogs) It's stupid My mind is not grasping that he's on paper I guess I'll just Hold my breath and count to ten Why do I always fall for fictional men? My heart and my mind won't seem to align 'Cause I feel real things for a fake ass guy And I'm way too old to play pretend But still I always fall for fictional men My heart and my mind won't seem to align 'Cause I've fallen in love with a fictional guy The actor's cute, but he's like 33 I guess that's only ten years older than me (give or take) Maybe I'm dumb or it's just quarantine To be completely honest, 2020 is killing me Come on kid, you know it kinda sucks We get it, you've been alone for like six months But he's not real, face the facts This is a coping mechanism, clean up your act Yeah, I know, I think I'm just gonna Hold my breath and count to ten Why do I always fall for fictional men?

My heart and my mind won't seem to align 'Cause I feel real things for a fake ass guy I'm way too old to play pretend But still I always fall for fictional men My heart and mind won't seem to align 'Cause I've fallen in love With a fictional guy

Romeo was full of shit Juliet, she fell for it And I'm not an idiot (idiot) Orpheus Eurydice Ended in a tragedy I won't let it happen to me Told myself it's all a trick Just so I can cope with it The older I get The more that it sticks I've never been in love Is that something that I want? Convinced that I'm fine I'm not losing my mind Maybe it's not meant for me No! I don't need L-O-V-E Love can't differentiate Between what is real and fake So women used paper and pen Juliet, she took the bait Orpheus was far too late So now I love fictional men Guess I'm not the trusting type Dealt with plenty creepy guys The shoe doesn't fit I'll step out of line Still, I've never been in love Is that something that I want? Convince me I'm fine I'm not losing my mind Maybe it's just not for me No! I don't need L-O-V-E Maybe I'll just wait and see I might need L-O-V-E
