Lyrics
Love without anger
Expressing the idea that love should be devoid of anger.
He picked up the phone and took the call
Describing a person answering a call on the phone.
A long distance voice just started to bawl
A distant voice on the phone starts yelling loudly.
I don't care if you feel small
Indifference to someone feeling insignificant.
Love without anger isn't love at all
Asserting that love without anger is not genuine love.
Why can't you have your cake and eat it too
Raising the question of why one can't enjoy both benefits.
Why believe in things that make it tough on you
Challenging the belief in things that create difficulties.
Why scream and cry when you know it's through
Questioning the need for emotional outbursts when a relationship is ending.
Why fall in love when there's better things to do
Questioning the wisdom of falling in love when there are other priorities.
Barbie and ken in a great big fight
Describing a conflict between the fictional characters Barbie and Ken.
Seems ken forgot to make it home one night
Ken failed to return home, leading to a significant disagreement.
You know what you are seeing simply can't be right
Expressing doubt about the correctness of what is observed.
Looks like love's bark is worse than its bite
Suggesting that love's verbal expression is more severe than its actions.
He was young and in love
Referring to a person who was young and in love but oblivious to reality.
So he just couldn't see
Implies that love blinded the person to the situation.
And it compelled him to ask
Posing a question about the absurdity of the situation.
Are you kidding me?
Expressing disbelief and seeking confirmation.
You must be kidding me!
Repeating the disbelief in a more emphatic manner.
Love without teardrops isn't the same
Suggesting that love without experiencing sadness lacks depth.
He asked to be counted out of her game
Declaring a desire to be excluded from a romantic involvement.
She thought it him who was so insane
Attributing insanity to the person who thought love was reciprocated.
Love is what it does by any other name
Conveying that love is defined by its actions rather than its labels.
