That’s Not How It Goes
[Intro]
(Guitar riff: punchy, bouncy, slightly exaggerated)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah!
Wait… what did you just say?
[Verse 1]
You said, “Let’s take it slow,”
I heard, “Bake a giant crow.”
I showed up with flour, feathers, glue,
Now my neighbors think I’m kookoo. (haha!)
You said, “Let’s have a fight,”
I heard, “Let’s dance in the night.”
So I brought my disco ball and shoes,
Now we’re moonwalking through the blues.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word that leaves your mouth
Turns my life upside down,
I nod and I pretend I know,
But baby, I swear, I think it’s snow—wait…
[Chorus] (Catchy misheard lyric hook)
That’s not how it goes, no, no, no!
You said “I love you,” I heard “I glove you” (what?)
I’m stuck in this show, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Romance or a boxing glove—tell me, love!
Ohhh, that’s not how it goes!
[Verse 2]
You said, “We should take a trip,”
I heard, “We should dress the ship.”
Now there’s glitter on the captain’s hat,
And the dog thinks we’re pirates—imagine that!
You said, “I need some space,”
I heard, “We’re building outer space.”
Now there’s planets in the living room,
And a rocket in the kitchen, boom! (blast off!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Every line that rolls off your tongue
Feels like a puzzle, unsung,
I nod and I grin like a pro,
But baby, I swear, I think it’s snow—again!
[Chorus]
That’s not how it goes, no, no, no!
You said “I love you,” I heard “I glove you”
I’m stuck in this show, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Romance or a boxing glove—tell me, love!
Ohhh, that’s not how it goes!
[Bridge]
(Spoken / half-sung, playful)
Maybe one day I’ll learn to hear you right,
But until then, we’re glitter-fightin’ every night.
Miscommunication, yeah, it’s our jam,
Love and chaos, ma’am!
[Chorus – Big Finale]
That’s not how it goes, no, no, no!
You said “I love you,” I heard “I glove you”
I’m stuck in this show, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Romance or a boxing glove—tell me, love!
Ohhh, that’s not how it goes!
[Outro]
(Guitar solo fades, crowd laugh track optional)
Bake a crow… disco snow… I glove you? Yeah, that’s love!
