Lyrics

Marriage is a two-headed transplant,

Marriage is likened to a complex and challenging situation, similar to a two-headed transplant.

Sometimes that's how it seems.

At times, marriage appears to be like this situation.

When the sex wears off it's all give and take,

When the initial passion diminishes, marriage becomes about compromise and mutual exchanges.

And it's good-bye to all your dreams.

Once the initial aspirations and desires fade, one has to bid farewell to their dreams.

One head wants to go to a movie

One partner desires an outing to the movies.

While the other wants to stay at home,

While the other partner prefers staying home.

And just like a two-headed transplant

Similar to a two-headed transplant, a sense of never being alone arises.

You get the feeling that you're never alone.

A metaphorical comparison of feeling constantly accompanied or connected.


Mr. and Mrs. Horrible are an example of what I say.

Mr. and Mrs. Horrible exemplify the point being made.

They used to be so in love, now they fight so much

The couple, once deeply in love, now engages in frequent fights, causing friends to distance themselves.

That they've frightened all their friends away.

They have driven away all their friends due to their constant quarreling.

They never get visits from neighbors,

Neighbors avoid visiting them.

They've alienated everyone.

They have isolated themselves from everyone.

And what started off as all cuddles and kisses

What initially started with affectionate gestures has transformed over time.

Has finally become

The initial warmth has given way to...


A labor of love, labor of love.

Love in a committed relationship involves toil and effort.

The torment, the worry and woe,

The challenges, anxieties, and sadness are integral parts of love.

Love's full of fears, bruises and tears,

Love often involves emotional and physical pain, representing the way true love evolves.

That's the way that a true love grows.

Summarizes the tough nature of genuine love.

It's a labor of love, labor of love.

A reaffirmation of love's arduous nature.

It's a struggle, without a doubt,

It's an ongoing struggle, unquestionably difficult.

But if they keep on trying, screaming and crying,

Even amid arguments and tears, there's a chance to resolve things.

Somehow they're gonna work it all out.

Despite the difficulties, there's hope for a resolution.


It turned into a two-headed transplant,

A repetition of the earlier comparison, emphasizing the two-headed transplant metaphor.

But it started off with

An indication that the situation, although complex, had a simpler beginning.
