Just What You've Been Waiting For - Part 2

Continued from yesterday. The second verse to Nicole Ritchie's new single.

He just might be poison but I took him to my rooftop
I said are you afraid of heights he said no I am not
I said hey boy don’t you lie to me tell me everything you feel
We danced around in circles, he said I think we found something real

Let's just stop right there. Ahhhh. This could take ALL DAY. I can't believe Nicole is so inconsiderate that she waits until AFTER she takes Mr. Might-Be-Poison to the rooftop to ask him if he's afraid of heights. I blame bad parenting on the part of Lionel Ritchie. Thank heavens Mr. Might-Be-Poison said "no I am not". She would have had to change that whole first line to rhyme with "yes i am" if he were, in fact, afraid of heights. That might ruin the whole song. I know what you're thinking - it's pretty hard to ruin a big, steaming pile of crap - but it can be done. I'll demonstrate by rewriting the lines to reflect Mr. Might-Be-Poison's potential fear of heights.

I gave up eating food so now I spray my tongue with Pam
I said are you afraid of heights he said yes I am

See that? TOTALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE MEANING OF THE SONG.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the chorus.
