THIS HERE’S THE STORY
OF KATHY AND TOM
THEY MET ONLINE LAST SUMMER
THROUGH MATCHMAKER DOT COM
HE WAS SEARCHING FOR A LOVER
SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A DATE
THEIR FRIENDS CALLED THEM CRAZY
BUT THEY CALLED IT FATE

THEY HAD LOTS IN COMMON
AND THEY HAD LOTS OF DREAMS
BUT THINGS WEREN’T AS PERFECT
AS THEY ORIGINALLY SEEMED
CAUSE SHE WORKED THE DAY SHIFT
AND HE WORKED AT NIGHT
THEY HARDLY SAW EACH OTHER
IT JUST WASN'T RIGHT

MAYBE IT WAS PART
OF A MODERN DAY SCHEME
SO THEY GOT CREATIVE
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TIME
FOR LOVIN THESE DAYS
SO THEY SATISFIED EACH OTHER
IN TEXTUAL WAYS

TEXT ME YOU LOVE ME
TEXT ME YOU'RE FINE
TEXT ME BEFORE
I GO OUTTA MY MIND
TEXT ME TOMORROW
TEXT ME TODAY
TEXT ME WHENEVER
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

SHE FINALLY GOT TIRED
OF BEING ALONE
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
YOU CAN DO WITH A PHONE
KATHY LOVED DEAR TOM
BUT SHE NEEDED MORE
SO SHE FOUND ANOTHER LOVER
AT THE GROCERY STORE

HER CHEATING TURNED INTO
ONE HECK OF A MESS
WHEN TOM TRACKED HER DOWN
WITH HER PHONE’S GPS
HE DIDN’T SAY A WORD
BUT HE KNEW VERY WELL
IF HE COULDN’T HAVE HER
THEN SHE’D BURN IN HELL

ON A DARK AND RAINY NIGHT
DOWN WIDOWMAKER’S HILL
KATHY DROVE TO HER LOVER’S
SHE COULDN’T GET HER FILL
TOM SENT HER A MESSAGE
AND IT STRUCK A NERVE
HER CAR LEFT THE ROAD
AS SHE ROUNDED THE CURVE

TEXT ME YOU LOVE ME
TEXT ME YOU’RE FINE
TEXT ME BEFORE
I GO OUT OF MY MIND
TEXT ME TOMORROW
TEXT ME TODAY
TEXT ME WHENEVER
YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

THEN IN AN INSTANT
POOR KATHY WAS DEAD
SHE JUST COULDN’T LEAVE
A MESSAGE UNREAD
DEAR TOM GOT AWAY
WITH THE PERFECT CRIME
BUT KATHY’S NEW LOVER
GOT NOTHING THIS TIME

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY
IS TOTALLY STRAIGHT
BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING
AN INTERNET MATE
ALWAYS REMEMBER
DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS DO BETTER
AT STAYING ALIVE

TEXT ME YOU LOVE ME
TEXT ME YOU’RE FINE
TEXT ME BEFORE
I GO OUT OF MY MIND
TEXT ME TOMORROW
TEXT ME TODAY
TEXT ME WHENEVER
YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
