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

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.

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!
