Lyrics
My Love for Her is Real - Mike Delaney – for FAWM25
She found my fake profile On a fake dating site But she connected with me anyway Now my outlook is bright
It had an AI-generated portrait That looks kinda like me And lots of made-up details I wanted everyone to see
My Love for Her is Real
I’ve got a mouth of false teeth And Just-for-Men hair And all the sincerity I can fake To show her I truly care
So, I shower her with gifts No expense will I spare Though, it’s the thought that counts ‘Cause my resources are spare
My Love for Her is Real
I gave her plastic roses That looked pretty good And a knock-off bracelet That was made of wood
Some you-know-who look-alike sneakers That I spray painted gold Some mock chocolates That weren’t especially old
My Love for Her is Real
A lab grown diamond That was fairly bright And uncultured pearls That felt kinda light
But I gotta say it Lest you eschew My feelings for her are real My love for her is true
My Love for Her is Real
We dined at the Five Star I heard it was the best She looked too perfect I felt truly blessed
But, she wouldn’t eat or drink And while I’m no Freud I finally figured it out… She was an android!
…It turned out… My Lover wasn’t Real My Lover wasn’t Real ….My effort wasted ‘cause…. My Lover wasn’t Real My Lover wasn’t Real

The music has a nice bounce to it. The burst of harmonica was well done. The lyrics are cute and funny. I like the refrain "My Love For Her Real," which contrasts nicely with all the phony stuff the narrator does. And then there's the twist at the end, which ties everything up. Enjoyed listening to this. Thanks for sharing!
I love it! I didn't see the ending coming, and LOL. Great production, too - love the vocals and picking and the overall mix is superb.
